Financial Accountability Act 2009

An annual appropriation Act is—

an ordinary annual appropriation Act; or

An ordinary annual appropriation Act is an Act that, for departments other than the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service—

authorises the Treasurer to pay from the consolidated fund an amount for the departments for a financial year; and

appropriates for the financial year an amount to be applied to the departmental services, administered items and equity adjustment of each department.

A parliamentary annual appropriation Act is an Act that, for the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service—

authorises the Treasurer to pay from the consolidated fund an amount for the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service for the financial year; and

The annual appropriation Acts for a financial year are both—

the ordinary annual appropriation Act for the financial year; and
