Plain English Summary
4/10 complexity
This Act appropriates $76,364,376,000 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the ordinary annual services of government in 2020–21 and allocates those amounts to departmental, administered and corporate items across portfolios (Schedule 1). It also permits the Finance Minister to determine up to $16,000 million of urgent, unforeseen expenditure (s.10), treats intra‑Commonwealth notional transactions as real for appropriation purposes (s.5), and allows amounts to be credited to special accounts (s.11). Who pays: taxpayers via the CRF. Who decides: Parliament sets totals; the Finance Minister can adjust urgent items.
