Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2025-03-25.
This bill would authorise spending from the Consolidated Revenue Fund on government activities that are not part of its everyday running costs.
The amount proposed is roughly five-twelfths of the expected 2025-26 annual funding for those non-ordinary services, with some agencies getting a larger share to cover early-year or urgent needs.
The explanatory memorandum notes that the remaining seven-twelfths plus new budget measures for 2025-26 would be covered by a separate bill later in the year.
- Authorises appropriations from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for non-ordinary annual services.
- Provides about five-twelfths of the estimated 2025-26 annual appropriations for those services.
- Allows a higher proportion for certain entities, such as the National Emergency Management Agency, that have high early-year spending or need flexibility.
Government entities that provide services not classified as ordinary annual services of the Government.
