Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This document authorises the transfer of approximately $143,000 in government funding from the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources to the Australian Greenhouse Office.

When government functions move from one department to another, the money budgeted for those functions must move too. This direction makes that transfer official under the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997.

What is being transferred:

$83,742 from the current year's operating budget (Appropriation Act 2003-2004)
$59,690 from previous years' unspent funds (called "non-lapsing appropriations" — money that doesn't expire at the end of the financial year)

This ensures the Australian Greenhouse Office has the necessary budget to perform the environmental or climate-related functions it has taken over from the Industry department.
