1.3 The Legislative Authority under which the Instrument is made
Subsection 12(2) of annual Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2008-2009 enables the Minister for Finance and Deregulation to make a determination reducing a CAC Act body payment item, by the amount specified in the Determination, upon receipt of a written request from the Minister responsible for that agency.

The agency’s reduction determination table is contained within an individual provision. The provision provides that the agency in column 1, has the appropriation item in column 2, under the legislative authority in column 3, through the request by the responsible Minister in Column 4, reduced, by the amount in column 5.
The instrument reflects agency and portfolio names contained in the Appropriation Acts under which the reduction is made, noting that these may have subsequently been changed by, for example, machinery of government changes.

Subsection 12(7) of Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2008-2009 provides that a determination made under subsection 12(2) is a legislative instrument and despite subsection 44(2) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003, (which provides that Instruments made under Annual Appropriation Acts are not subject to disallowance under section 42 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003) section 42 of that Act applies to this determination.
