Overview

The Appropriation Act (No. 3) 1982-83 was enacted by the Parliament of Australia and received Royal Assent on 27 April 1983. This Act was introduced to address the need for additional appropriations for the financial year ending 30 June 1983, beyond the sums initially appropriated by the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 1982-83. The primary policy objective of this Act is to authorize the Minister for Finance to issue and apply a specified sum from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the services detailed in the Schedule. This additional appropriation was necessitated by unforeseen or urgently required expenditures that could not be included in the initial appropriation bill. The Act came into operation on the day of Royal Assent and is subject to the provisions of the Loan Act (No. 2) 1982.

Scope and Application

The Appropriation Act (No. 3) 1982-83 is a Commonwealth of Australia Act which authorises the appropriation of funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the financial year ending on 30 June 1983. This Act, which received Royal Assent on 27 April 1983, applies to various government departments and services, including the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of Defence, the Department of Education and Youth Affairs, and others, as specified in the Schedule. The Act allows the Minister for Finance to issue and apply the appropriated sum of $211,338,000 for services specified in the Schedule. The Act is subject to the provisions of the Loan Act (No. 2) 1982 and extends to the entire Commonwealth of Australia. The Act does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but it does allow for additional appropriations in respect of increases in salaries. The Act may be extended or restricted through subordinate instruments, though such details are not specified in the Act itself.

Key Provisions

The Appropriation Act (No. 3) 1982-83 (section 3) authorises the Minister for Finance to issue and apply from the Consolidated Revenue Fund the sum of $211,338,000 for specified services in the financial year ending on 30 June 1983. This appropriation is further detailed in the Schedule, which allocates funds to various departments and services, including the Attorney-General's Department, Department of Defence, Department of Education and Youth Affairs, and others. The Act also provides for additional appropriations in respect of salary increases as specified in section 5 of the Appropriation Act (No. 1) 1982-83, and it is subject to the provisions of the Loan Act (No. 2) 1982. The Act imposes several obligations on the Minister for Finance and the relevant departments. The Minister must ensure that the funds are issued and applied strictly in accordance with the purposes specified in the Schedule, which includes detailed allocations for each department and service. The departments are required to utilise the appropriated funds for the specified services and ensure that expenditures are within the allocated budgets. The Act also mandates that the Minister for Finance provide details of any urgent and unforeseen expenditures to the Parliament, as outlined in the provision for advances to the Minister for Finance. Breaches of the provisions outlined in the Appropriation Act (No. 3) 1982-83 could potentially lead to legal consequences. While the Act itself does not specify particular offences or penalties, misuse of public funds or failure to comply with appropriation directives could lead to actions under other legislation, such as the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. Such actions might result in disciplinary measures, financial penalties, or other consequences as determined by relevant authorities. The seriousness of any breach would depend on the extent of the misuse and the impact on public funds and services.
