Overview

The Supplementary Appropriation Act 1935-36 was enacted in 1937 to appropriate an additional sum of £679,450 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the service of the year ending June 30, 1936. The Act was passed by the Parliament of Australia, consisting of the King, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The primary purpose of the Act was to allocate funds to various government departments and services, including the Parliament, Prime Minister’s Department, and other key ministries such as Defence, Trade, and Customs. The Supplementary Appropriation Act 1935-36 aimed to address any financial gaps or additional needs that arose during the fiscal year, ensuring that the government could continue to operate effectively and deliver its services to the public.

Scope and Application

The Supplementary Appropriation Act 1935-36 provides for the appropriation of funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the financial year ending 30th June 1936. The Act applies to various departments and services within the Commonwealth of Australia, including the Parliament, the Prime Minister's Department, the Department of the Treasury, the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of the Interior, the Department of Defence, the Department of Trade and Customs, the Department of Health, and the Department of Commerce, among others. Additionally, the Act allocates funds for the territories of the Commonwealth, such as the Northern Territory, the Federal Capital Territory, Papua, and Norfolk Island. The funds are appropriated for specific purposes and services as outlined in the Schedule to the Act, which includes details of salary and payment provisions, general expenses, and other incidental expenses. The Act does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but it does specify that certain funds are to be credited to trust accounts and votes for specific purposes, such as the War Service Homes Trust Account and the Disposal of Obsolete Vessels Trust Account. The Act extends its application through subordinate instruments, such as the Schedule, which provides detailed information on the allocation of funds to various departments and services.

Key Provisions

The Supplementary Appropriation Act 1935-36 (Act No. 7 of 1937) appropriates a sum of £679,450 from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the service of the year ended 30 June 1936. The Act is divided into three parts: Part I allocates funds to various departments and services, excluding business undertakings and territories of the Commonwealth; Part II allocates funds to business undertakings, specifically the Postmaster-General's Department; and Part III allocates funds to the territories of the Commonwealth, including the Northern Territory, Federal Capital Territory, Papua, and Norfolk Island. Part I details appropriations to various government departments, such as the Parliament, Prime Minister's Department, Department of the Treasury, and others. Each department's allocation is broken down into salary and payment expenses, as well as general expenses such as office requisites, postage, telegrams, telephone services, and other incidental expenses. Part II allocates funds to the Postmaster-General's Department, with expenses related to salaries, mail services, engineering services, and other general expenses. Part III allocates funds to the territories of the Commonwealth, including the Northern Territory, Federal Capital Territory, Papua, and Norfolk Island. The expenses for each territory are broken down into salary and payment expenses, general expenses, and other services. The Act imposes several obligations and requirements on the parties and entities it governs. For instance, the government departments and services must ensure that the allocated funds are spent in accordance with the appropriations outlined in the Act. Additionally, the departments and services are required to provide detailed reports on the use of these funds. The Act also includes provisions for offences, penalties, or civil and criminal consequences for breaches. However, the specific penalties and consequences are not outlined in the Act itself. Generally, breaches of appropriation acts can result in legal consequences, such as fines or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the breach and the relevant legislation in place at the time.
