This Act authorises an extra $153,440,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for expenditure in the 1987–88 year, backdated to 1 July 1987, and gives the Minister for Finance power to issue and apply that money to the services listed in Schedule 2. It also prescribes that certain payments to States, Territories, local bodies and organisations are to be made on written terms and timing set by specified Ministers, and it amends earlier appropriation references to include or correct named beneficiaries.
