Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act is a supplementary appropriation that makes an extra $419.47 million available from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 1989–90, allocated across 15 Commonwealth departments (notably health, transport and communications, finance and primary industries). It affects federal agencies and payments to States/Territories, backdates availability to 1 July 1989, fixes technical errors in prior appropriation law, and allows some flexibility to use program appropriations across related administered Acts.
