Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2016-02-04.
This bill would allocate extra government funding from the national public account for the year 2015-2016, on top of the amounts already approved through the budget-related laws.
The money would be provided through a separate piece of legislation, as required by the constitution, with a companion bill covering other spending requests.
The explanatory memorandum says the detailed amounts are listed in the bill's schedules and are also described in the related portfolio statements tabled in parliament.
- It would approve additional spending from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the ordinary annual services of the government.
- It would keep these appropriations in a separate bill from other appropriations, as the constitution requires.
- It would work alongside a second bill to cover other annual appropriations, together forming the Additional Estimates Appropriation Bills.
The government and the parliament, as well as anyone relying on the detailed spending information in the portfolio statements.
