Plain English Summary
4/10 complexity
This Act authorises $80,966,414,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for ordinary annual government services in 2015–16. It sets departmental, administered and corporate entity appropriations and allows the Finance Minister to determine up to $295 million of urgent adjustments.
It affects Commonwealth departments, agencies and program recipients; taxpayers fund it; ministers (and the Finance Minister) make adjustment decisions. Agencies face accounting, compliance and cash‑flow constraints, and internal notional transfers are treated as real for appropriation accounting.

current year means the financial year ending on 30 June 2016.
departmental item means the total amount set out in Schedule 1 in relation to a non‑corporate entity under the heading “Departmental”.
Note: The amounts set out opposite outcomes, under the heading “Departmental”, are “notional”. They are not part of the item, and do not in any way restrict the scope of the expenditure authorised by the item.

For the purposes of this Act, notional transactions between non‑corporate entities are to be treated as if they were real transactions.
Note: This section applies, for example, to a “payment” between non‑corporate entities that are both part of the Commonwealth. One of the effects of this section is that the payment will be debited from an appropriation for the paying non‑corporate entity, even though no payment is actually made from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. This is consistent with section 76 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

8 Administered items
(1) The amount specified in an administered item for an outcome for a non‑corporate entity may be applied for expenditure for the purpose of contributing to achieving that outcome.
(2) If the portfolio statements indicate that activities of a particular kind were intended to be treated as activities in respect of a particular outcome, then expenditure for the purpose of carrying out those activities is taken to be expenditure for the purpose of contributing to achieving the outcome.

(2) If:

(b) Schedule 1 contains a corporate entity item for that entity;
then the entity must be paid the full amount specified in the item.

(b) because the expenditure was unforeseen until after the last day on which it was practicable to provide for it in the Bill for this Act before that Bill was introduced into the House of Representatives.
(2) This Act has effect as if Schedule 1 were amended, in accordance with a determination of the Finance Minister, to make provision for so much (if any) of the expenditure as the Finance Minister determines.
(3) The total of the amounts determined under subsection (2) cannot be more than $295 million.
(4) A determination made under subsection (2) is a legislative instrument, but neither section 42 (disallowance) nor Part 6 (sunsetting) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 applies to the determination.
