Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This law authorises withdrawal of £744,331 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund to pay government departments and public services for the year ending 30 June 1911. It allocates funds across departments (largest to the Postmaster‑General), includes a £250,000 advance for contingencies, and requires the Treasurer to spend only as scheduled and only after a Governor‑General’s warrant. It’s a routine supply measure giving Parliament control over public expenditure.
