Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This supplementary budget law authorises the Australian Government to spend an extra $509.973 million in 1997–98. It unlocks additional payments to federal departments and large grants to States and Territories to fund programs such as health, social security, rural adjustment, transport assistance and other policy priorities.
It also contains transitional and accounting provisions to operate with the new Financial Management and Accountability framework and to allow post‑year bookkeeping corrections.

6 Attorney‑General’s Department
If a body to be known as the Human Rights and Responsibilities Commission is established by legislation before 1 July 1998, the Appropriation Act (No. 2) 1998 has effect, and is taken at all times to have had effect, as if the appropriation of an amount to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission under item 01 of Division 806 in Schedule 2 to that Act were:
(a) an appropriation to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (for the purposes set out in the item) of so much of that amount as is determined, in writing, by the Minister, being an amount that is not less than the expenditure incurred by the Commission on payments to the States before the establishment of that body; and
