Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises an extra $290.5 million from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 1986–87, topping up departmental budgets—notably Defence ($68.5m), Veterans’ Affairs ($57.2m), Industry/Technology ($38.2m) and Education, Treasury and Foreign Affairs—funding salaries, veterans’ support, industry subsidies and aid. It also makes technical amendments: extends overseas student charges to include PRC students, updates an Atomic Energy Act reference, adjusts a defence equipment appropriation, and ensures consistency with existing loan limits.
