One of the effects of this section is that the payment will be debited from an appropriation for the paying non‐corporate entity, even though no payment is actually made from the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

day on which it was practicable to provide for it in the Bill for this Act before that Bill was introduced into the House of Representatives.

but neither section 42 (disallowance) nor Part 4 of Chapter 3 (sunsetting) of the Legislation Act 2003 applies to the determination.
If any of the purposes of a special account is a purpose that is covered by an item (whether or not the item expressly refers to the special account), then amounts may be debited against the appropriation for that item and credited to that special account.
