All public moneys received by the Treasurer must be paid daily to the credit of the Treasurer’s consolidated fund bank account.

Moneys may be withdrawn from the Treasurer’s consolidated fund bank account only for—

recouping or advancing moneys to a departmental financial institution account under—

an appropriation Act; or

another Act that appropriates the amount involved; or

an approval for unforeseen expenditure; or

paying an amount to a department under section 34; or

making an investment under section 50; or
