Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This supplementary budget law authorises an additional $67,944,000 of Commonwealth spending in 1972–73, concentrated mainly in the Treasury and Works portfolios, and apportioned among seven departments.

It also contains a retrospective validation that legalises spending made between 20 December 1972 and 28 February 1973. The measure affects public servants, contractors and payment recipients and matters because it secures parliamentary approval and cures technical irregularities in prior disbursements.
