[Assented to 26 June 2018]

Her Majesty and the Legislative Assembly in accordance with section 65(5) of the Constitution Act 1975 enact as follows:

1Purpose

The purpose of this Act is to make provision for the appropriation of certain sums out of the Consolidated Fund for the ordinary annual services of the Government for the financial year 2018/2019.

2Commencement

This Act comes into operation on the day on which it receives the Royal Assent.

3Issue of moneys

(1)The Treasurer may issue out of the Consolidated Fund in respect of the financial year 2018/2019 the sum of $59 760 501 000 as set out in Schedule 1.

(2)If—

(a)in respect of the financial year 2018/2019 the amount payable in respect of salaries and related costs is increased as the result of any legislation or determination; and

(b)the amounts specified in the relevant items in Schedule 1 are insufficient to provide for the payment of the increased amount payable in respect of salaries and related costs—

the Treasurer may issue out of the Consolidated Fund an amount not exceeding the increased amount payable in respect of salaries and related costs in addition to the amount issued under subsection (1).

(3)In this section—

determination includes any regulation or any award, order or determination of a person or body authorised to determine minimum salaries or wages under any law of the Commonwealth or of the State, or any agreement approved in accordance with the Fair Work Act 2009 or Workplace Relations Act 1996 of the Commonwealth, or any agreement entered into by or on behalf of the State;

salaries and related costs includes wages or other amounts in the nature of salary, payments by way of overtime or penalty rates or in lieu of long service leave or for retiring gratuities, superannuation contributions, annual leave loadings, payroll tax payments and WorkCover insurance policy premiums.

4Appropriation

The Consolidated Fund is appropriated to the extent necessary for the purposes of section 3.

5Application of amounts appropriated

(1)The amounts to be applied to an item specified in Schedule 1 shall not, except as provided in this section or section 30 or 31A of the Financial Management Act 1994, exceed the amount specified for that item.

(2)If an amount in respect of depreciation of an asset is applied to an item in Schedule 1 for the provision of outputs of a Department, the amount shown for the item in Schedule 1 relating to that Department in respect of additions to the net asset base is increased, if the Treasurer so determines, by an amount not exceeding the amount in respect of depreciation.

6Application of amounts for future payments

If, during the financial year 2018/2019, an arrangement is made, or an expense or obligation is incurred, for the payment of an amount in a future financial year, a corresponding amount is applied, in respect of the financial year 2018/2019, to the appropriate item in Schedule 1 for the relevant Department.

7Public Account advance

The sums specified in Schedule 2 which by the authority of section 35 of the Financial Management Act 1994 have been expended from the Public Account to meet urgent claims are deemed to have been appropriated from the Consolidated Fund for the provision of outputs, additions to the net asset base and payments made on behalf of the State specified in Schedule 2 and those sums shall be repaid to the Public Account.

8Advance to Treasurer

The sums specified in Schedule 3 have been expended to meet urgent claims out of the Advance appropriated in the Appropriation (2016-2017) Act 2016 under the Department of Treasury and Finance and the payments so made are deemed to have been appropriated for the purposes and services specified in Schedule 3.
