Commonwealth legislation
This determination fixes the dollar amounts and the payment date for a single round of general purpose financial assistance (GPFA) from the Commonwealth to the States. Made under subsection 9(1) of the Federal Financial Relations Act 2009 by the Assistant Minister for Treasury and Finance, it takes effect when made and directs specific per‑State payments for distribution on 21 March 2019. It matters because it allocates federal funds to state budgets and sets the timing for that transfer.
