Plain English Summary
3/10 complexity
This Act authorises $122,017,626,000 to be drawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for ordinary annual government services, allocating departmental, administered and corporate‑entity items across portfolios. It makes the Portfolio Budget Statements relevant to legal interpretation and treats notional transactions between Commonwealth entities as if they were real.
The Finance Minister may, by determination, advance up to $2,000 million for urgent, unforeseen or understated expenditure (s.10). The money is funded from the CRF (taxpayer funds); agencies receive the budgeted sums while the collective taxpayer base meets the cost.
