Plain English Summary
5/10 complexity
What it does. This Act authorises $36,809,121,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for ordinary annual Commonwealth services in 2020–21, allocating departmental, administered and corporate payments across portfolios, allowing notional intra‑Commonwealth transactions to count for accounting, and permitting credits to special accounts.
Who decides and why it matters. The Finance Minister may advance up to $4,000 million for urgent, unforeseen or omitted needs by legislative instrument (not subject to disallowance or sunsetting). Taxpayers fund the appropriation; agencies and the Finance Minister control allocation and timing.
