Commonwealth act
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Act authorises the Treasurer to issue and apply $1,000,195,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for specified Commonwealth departments, business undertakings and territories for the financial year ending 30 June 1968 (s.3 and Schedule). It is an interim appropriation: it lets agencies keep operating by providing specified sums (including a $20,000,000 Advance to the Treasurer) and appropriates the Fund to the extent necessary. Mechanically it moves public money; it does not alter agencies’ functions or private-sector regulatory obligations.
