EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

 

Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Finance and Deregulation

 

FMA Act Determination 2008/08— Section 32 (Transfer of Functions from FaHCSIA to DEEWR)

 

Subsection 32(2) of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997 (FMA Act) provides that the Minister for Finance and Deregulation (Finance Minister) may, by determination, amend Schedules to annual Appropriation Acts to transfer appropriations in connection with the transfer of a function between agencies under the FMA Act. The determination has the effect of amending the Schedules concerned in accordance with the determination.

 

This power has been delegated from the Finance Minister to the Secretary of the Department of Finance and Deregulation under section 62 of the FMA Act.

 

Special Gazette No. S254 reflects the administrative arrangements order of
3 December 2007, made by the Governor-General in Council, which resulted in the abolition and establishment of Departments of State. As a result of these changes various annual Appropriation Acts require amendment in order to reflect the changes in departmental arrangements.

 

The purpose of this Determination is to allow a transfer of appropriations from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).  The appropriation amounts transferred are as follows:

 

·        From annual Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2007-2008 an amount of $7,052.45 of the administered item for Outcome 2 for FaHCSIA to the administered item for Outcome 5 for DEEWR.

·        From annual Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2007-2008 an amount of $141,981,758.29 of the administered item for Outcome 3 for FaHCSIA to the administered item for Outcome 1 for DEEWR.

·        From annual Appropriation Act (No. 2) 2007-2008 an amount of $16,168,312.44 of the States, ACT, NT and local government item of FaHCSIA to the States, ACT, NT and local government item for DEEWR.

·        From annual Appropriation (Northern Territory National Emergency Response) Act (No. 1) 2007-2008 an amount of $4,233,000.00 of the administered item for Outcome 1 for FaHCSIA to the administered item for Outcome 1 for DEEWR.

 

In accordance with the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, FaHCSIA and DEEWR were consulted in the preparation of this instrument.

 

The Determination is a legislative instrument for the purposes of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.
