Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

The Act directs the Commonwealth to pay South Australia £1,330,000 as unconditional financial assistance, drawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund and delivered in equal monthly instalments starting 1 July 1936. It chiefly affects the State of South Australia (as recipient) and Commonwealth taxpayers (as funders), and matters as an example of Depression-era relief and enduring vertical fiscal imbalance in Australian federal finance.
