Overview

The Supply Act (No. 1) 1934–35, enacted by the Commonwealth Parliament, aims to provide and apply funds from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the financial year ending 30 June 1935. This legislation facilitates the appropriation of funds for various Commonwealth government departments, services, and business undertakings as detailed in the Act's Schedule. The primary objective is to ensure the government has the necessary financial resources to meet its obligations and carry out its functions effectively for the specified period. This Act underscores the importance of fiscal responsibility and transparency in public spending by outlining the allocation of funds across different sectors and services within the government.

Scope and Application

The Supply Act (No. 1) 1934-35 is a Commonwealth Act that appropriates a sum from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the financial year ending 30 June 1935. The Act applies to various departments, business undertakings, and territories of the Commonwealth. It authorises the issuance and application of £6,079,175 for specific services and purposes as outlined in the Schedule. This includes allocations for departments such as the Department of Defence, Department of Trade and Customs, and the Postmaster-General’s Department, among others. The Act specifies that no expenditures are to be made under its authority after 30 June 1935. While the Act broadly covers these entities and services, specific allocations and controls are detailed in the Schedule, which lists individual departments, services, and territories along with their respective funding. The Act does not explicitly state any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds but relies on the detailed Schedule for its application.

Key Provisions

The Supply Act (No. 1) 1934-35 (C1934A00001) is an Act to grant and apply a sum out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the service of the year ending 30 June 1935. The Act authorises the issuance and application of £6,079,175 for the purposes and services set forth in the Schedule to this Act, with the Treasurer empowered to issue and apply the moneys authorised. The sum is to be available to satisfy the warrants under the hand of the Governor-General in respect of any purposes and services set forth in the Schedule. The Act limits the period of expenditure to 30 June 1935. The Act imposes obligations and requirements on the parties it governs. The Act requires the funds to be spent on the specific purposes and services set out in the Schedule, including salaries and payments in the nature of salary, general expenses, other services, and various specific allocations for departments and services. The Act also requires that no moneys shall be expended under its authority after the thirtieth day of June One thousand nine hundred and thirty-five. Breach of the requirements of the Act may lead to offences and penalties. The Act does not specify the exact penalties for breach, but it is likely that any breach of the Act could lead to criminal or civil liability, depending on the nature and severity of the breach. The maximum penalties for breach are not stated in the Act. However, the Act's purpose is to ensure the proper and efficient use of public funds, and any breach of this purpose could have serious consequences for those responsible.
