Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a short administrative decision (called a 'determination') made by the Communications Minister in 2006. It sets a specific dollar figure ($793,662) that the government expects to pay out in grants to the telecommunications industry during the 2005-2006 financial year.

Why this matters: Telecommunications carriers (like Telstra, Optus, etc.) must pay annual licence fees to the government. The amount they pay is calculated using a formula that includes the government's expected spending on telecom grants. By setting this estimate at $793,662, the Minister is effectively determining part of how much carriers will owe in licence fees for that year.

Key details:

Amount: $793,662
Period: 2005-2006 financial year
Legal basis: Section 593 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 (which covers grants for industry purposes)
