Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Section 75 Transfers) Amendment Determination 20182019 (No. 10) (the amendment determination)

Purpose of the determination

The amendment determination is made under section 75 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act), to adjust amounts appropriated to non-corporate Commonwealth entities, in response to Machinery of Government changes.

On 29 May 2019, the Governor-General made a new Administrative Arrangements Order (AAO) to replace the AAO made on 4 April 2019. The amendment determination modifies the Appropriation Acts to reflect the following changes as a result of the 29 May 2019 AAO:

  • the transfer of responsibility for industrial relations from the Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business portfolio to the AttorneyGeneral’s portfolio; and
  • the transfer of settlement services for refugees and humanitarian migrants from the Social Services portfolio to the Home Affairs portfolio.

On 29 May 2019, the Governor-General made an order to establish the National Indigenous Australians Agency as an Executive Agency. The amendment determination modifies the Appropriation Acts to reflect the transfer of responsibility for indigenous affairs from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to the National Indigenous Australians Agency.

On 5 December 2019, the Governor-General made a new AAO to replace the AAO made on 29 May 2019. The new AAO commenced on 1 February 2020. The amendment determination modifies the Appropriation Acts to reflect the following changes as a result of the new AAO:

  • the transfer of responsibility for agriculture from the abolished Agriculture portfolio to the renamed Agriculture, Water and the Environment portfolio;
  • the transfer of responsibility for communications and arts from the abolished Communications and the Arts portfolio to the renamed Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications portfolio;
  • the transfer of responsibility for employment and skills from the abolished Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business portfolio to the renamed Education, Skills and Employment portfolio;
  • the transfer of responsibility for small business from the abolished Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business portfolio to the renamed Industry, Science, Energy and Resources portfolio; and
  • the transfer of responsibility for energy from the renamed Agriculture, Water and the Environment portfolio to the renamed Industry, Science, Energy and Resources portfolio.

On 5 December 2019, the Governor-General made an order to establish Services Australia as an Executive Agency. The amendment determination modifies the Appropriation Acts to reflect the transfer of responsibility for the delivery of services and payments to the community from the abolished Services Australia (Department of State) to Services Australia (Executive Agency).

In December 2019, the Government agreed to consolidate all deregulation functions in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The amendment determination modifies the Appropriation Acts to reflect the transfer of responsibility for the deregulation agenda from the Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

The amendment determination results in no change to the total amount appropriated by Parliament.

Commencement

The amendment determination commences on the day after registration.

Authority for the determination

Section 75 of the PGPA Act enables the Finance Minister to determine that one or more Schedules to one or more Appropriation Acts are modified in a specified way in relation to the transfer of a function from one non-corporate Commonwealth entity to another.

Under section 107 of the PGPA Act, the Finance Minister has delegated the power to make determinations under section 75 to the Secretary of the Department of Finance. Under section 109 of the PGPA Act, the Secretary has, in turn, subdelegated this power to certain officials within the Department of Finance, including the official who made the determination.

The amendment determination amends the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Section 75 Transfers) Determination 20182019 (the Determination), which is a legislative instrument for the purposes of section 8 of the Legislation Act 2003.

Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights

A Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights is not required for the amendment determination. Subsection 9(1) of the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 requires a Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights for all legislative instruments subject to disallowance under section 42 of the Legislation Act 2003. A determination, including an amendment determination, under section 75 of the PGPA Act is exempt from disallowance under subsection 75(7) of the PGPA Act. As such, a Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights is not required.

Consultation

Consistent with Chapter 3, Part 1 of the Legislation Act 2003, the affected entities were consulted in the preparation of the amendment determination.
