Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
The Appropriation Act No. 2 1996–97 authorises $3.53 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to run the Commonwealth to 30 June 1997, funding capital works, payments to states and other services — with Health and Family Services the largest recipient.
It adjusts prior Supply Act allocations, creates a $175 million advance for urgent expenditures, permits limited post-year accounting corrections, and includes transitional measures to align the Act with the incoming Financial Management and Accountability regime.
