What this does. This Act authorises $231,945,373 from the Consolidated Fund to finance the Parliament's services for the 2023–24 financial year and records that other funding sources will meet operating and capital needs. It also treats amounts paid from the Consolidated Fund under the Government Sector Finance Act 2018, s4.10, between 1 July 2023 and the date of assent as having been expended against this appropriation, retrospectively authorising those pre‑assent payments.
