Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises $49,425,332,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for ordinary annual services in 2016–17, allocating sums to Commonwealth departments, agencies and listed corporate entities and permitting amounts to be credited to special accounts. It grants the Finance Minister a limited power to amend Schedule 1 to meet urgent, unforeseen current‑year expenditure up to a $295 million cap (section 10), treats notional intra‑Commonwealth transfers as real for appropriation purposes (section 5), and is repealed from 1 July 2019.

Note: This table relates only to the provisions of this Act as originally enacted. It will not be amended to deal with any later amendments of this Act.
(2) Any information in column 3 of the table is not part of this Act. Information may be inserted in this column, or information in it may be edited, in any published version of this Act.

(b) a Commonwealth company within the meaning of that Act.
corporate entity item means the total amount set out in Schedule 1 in relation to a corporate entity under the heading “Administered”.
Note: The amounts set out opposite outcomes for corporate entities, under the heading “Administered”, 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.
current year means the financial year ending on 30 June 2017.
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.

(b) a corporate entity item;

5 Notional transactions between entities that are part of the Commonwealth
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.

(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) of this section and subsection 10(2) of the Supply Act (No. 1) 2016‑2017 cannot be more than $295 million.

[Assented to 10 November 2016]

This Act is the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2016‑2017.
2 Commencement
(1) Each provision of this Act specified in column 1 of the table commences, or is taken to have commenced, in accordance with column 2 of the table. Any other statement in column 2 has effect according to its terms.
Note: This table relates only to the provisions of this Act as originally enacted. It will not be amended to deal with any later amendments of this Act.
(2) Any information in column 3 of the table is not part of this Act. Information may be inserted in this column, or information in it may be edited, in any published version of this Act.

(a) a corporate Commonwealth entity within the meaning of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013; or
(b) a Commonwealth company within the meaning of that Act.
corporate entity item means the total amount set out in Schedule 1 in relation to a corporate entity under the heading “Administered”.
Note: The amounts set out opposite outcomes for corporate entities, under the heading “Administered”, 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.
current year means the financial year ending on 30 June 2017.
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.
expenditure means payments for expenses, acquiring assets, making loans or paying liabilities.

(b) a corporate entity item;
(c) a departmental item.

Note: See paragraph 15AB(2)(g) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 which provides that the material that may be considered in the interpretation of a provision of an Act includes any document that is declared by the Act to be a relevant document.
5 Notional transactions between entities that are part of the Commonwealth
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.
Part 2—Appropriation items
6 Summary of appropriations

7 Departmental items
The amount specified in a departmental item for a non‑corporate entity may be applied for the departmental expenditure of the entity.
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.
9 Corporate entity items

(2) If:
(a) an Act provides that a corporate entity must be paid amounts that are appropriated by the Parliament for the purposes of the entity; and
(b) Schedule 1 contains a corporate entity item for that entity;
then the entity must be paid the full amount specified in the item.
Part 3—Advance to the Finance Minister
10 Advance to the Finance Minister
(1) This section applies if the Finance Minister is satisfied that there is an urgent need for expenditure, in the current year, that is not provided for, or is insufficiently provided for, in Schedule 1:
(a) because of an erroneous omission or understatement; or
(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) of this section and subsection 10(2) of the Supply Act (No. 1) 2016‑2017 cannot be more than $295 million.
(4) Subsection (3) of this section prevails over subsection 10(3) of the Supply Act (No. 1) 2016‑2017.

Part 4—Miscellaneous
