Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This supplementary appropriation law authorises an extra $1.237 billion from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for 1992–93, plus a $20 million contingency for running costs, to keep government services funded. Major recipients include Defence, Health, Foreign Affairs and Veterans' Affairs. It also makes technical fixes (AUSTRAC’s name change, allowing certain agencies to retain earned receipts to offset net costs) and tweaks allocations for planning, land maintenance and training programs. It’s a supply bill enabling legal spending for ongoing commitments.
