Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises the Australian Government to withdraw £11,206,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the 1957–58 year, allocating funds across Commonwealth departments, agencies, business undertakings and territories.

As a supply law and the second appropriation for 1957–58, it legally enables government operations—salaries, services and programs—by providing the necessary spending authority.
