Overview

The Supplementary Appropriation Act 1922-23 was enacted by the Commonwealth of Australia to address the need for additional appropriations beyond those originally allocated for the fiscal year ending 30 June 1923. This legislation was passed by the Australian Parliament, which comprises the King, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The primary objective of this Act is to allocate a supplementary sum of £1,349,608 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for specified purposes and services, as detailed in the Act's schedule. This appropriation is intended to cover expenses incurred by various government departments and services, including the Parliament, the Prime Minister's Department, the Department of the Treasury, and others, to ensure the effective functioning of the government and its various operations throughout the fiscal year.

Scope and Application

The Supplementary Appropriation Act 1922-23 applies to the appropriation of funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the service of the year ending 30 June 1923. The Act specifies the allocation of £1,349,608 to various government departments and agencies, including the Parliament, the Prime Minister’s Department, the Department of the Treasury, and others. The funds are earmarked for a range of purposes, including salaries, contingencies, and miscellaneous expenses such as gratuities, bonuses, and legal costs. The Act also includes provisions for refunds of revenue and interest on advances. The allocation is detailed in the Schedule of the Act, covering expenditures across different divisions and subdivisions within the departments. The Act applies at the Commonwealth level, covering the entire nation. There are no explicit exclusions or exemptions mentioned in the text of the Act itself, though certain expenditures are noted as being subject to recovery or special circumstances. The Act does not explicitly mention extensions or restrictions through subordinate instruments.

Key Provisions

This Act, the Supplementary Appropriation Act 1922-23, allocates an additional £1,349,608 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the financial year ending 30 June 1923. This appropriation is detailed in the Schedule and is for specific services and purposes across various government departments and services. The Act stipulates that this sum is to be used for the purposes and services as outlined in the Schedule, which lists allocations for entities such as the Parliament, the Prime Minister’s Department, the Department of Defence, and others. The Act imposes obligations on the various departments to utilise the appropriated funds in accordance with the specified allocations. Each department must ensure that expenditures align with the purposes for which the funds were allocated, and they must report on the use of these funds as per the requirements of financial governance and transparency. Breach of the obligations imposed by this Act may lead to civil or criminal consequences, depending on the nature and severity of the breach. For example, misuse of public funds or failure to comply with financial reporting requirements could result in legal action, penalties, or other sanctions as prescribed by relevant legislation. The maximum penalties for such offences would be in accordance with the laws governing public finance and administration in Australia at the time.
