Commonwealth legislation
This determination directs one-off Commonwealth payments to named States on 8 April 2019 to fund specified outputs or projects, to facilitate reforms, or to reward nationally significant reforms (s3; Schedule 1). The Commonwealth sets the amounts; States receive the funds and must apply them to the listed purposes. It matters because it reallocates Commonwealth budgeted funds to State programs and creates a requirement that those amounts be spent on the projects or reforms identified in Schedule 1.
