The Finance Minister may give such written directions as are necessary or convenient for carrying out or giving effect to subsection (1) and, in particular, may give directions in relation to the transfer of money within an account, or between accounts, operated by the Commonwealth.
Directions under subsection (2) have effect, and must be complied with, despite any other law of the Commonwealth.
Directions under subsection (2) are not legislative instruments.
In this subsection:
Commonwealth includes a Commonwealth entity that cannot be made liable to taxation by a law of the Commonwealth.
