Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises the issue and application of £1,365,597 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for Commonwealth services for the year ending 30 June 1903, makes those moneys available to meet warrants signed by the Governor‑General, and forbids expenditure after that date (ss.1–3). It also repeals Act No. 10 of 1902 and treats sums spent under that Act as if issued under this one (s.4). Who pays: the Consolidated Revenue Fund; who decides: Parliament (appropriation), the Treasurer (issue) and the Governor‑General (warrants).
