Explanatory note
This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
This order, which comes into force on 30 June 2012, is made under section 26A of the Public Finance Act 1989 (the Act).
Section 26A of the Act authorises the Governor-General, by Order in Council, to direct that an amount appropriated for an output expense appropriation in a Vote be transferred to another output expense appropriation in that Vote if—
the amount transferred does not increase that appropriation for a financial year by more than 5%; and
no other transfer under that section to that appropriation has occurred during that financial year; and
the total amount appropriated for that financial year for all output expense appropriations in that Vote is unaltered.
This order directs that, for the financial year ending 30 June 2012,—
a total of $2,220,000 is transferred from the amount appropriated for 1 output expense appropriation in Vote Defence Force to 3 other output expense appropriations in that Vote:
a total of $216,000 is transferred from the amount appropriated for 1 output expense appropriation in Vote Ministerial Services to 1 other output expense appropriation in that Vote:
a total of $6,000,000 is transferred from the amounts appropriated for 2 output expense appropriations in Vote Revenue to 1 other output expense appropriation in that Vote:
a total of $300,000 is transferred from the amount appropriated for 1 output expense appropriation in Vote Social Development to 1 other output expense appropriation in that Vote:
a total of $50,000 is transferred from the amount appropriated for 1 output expense appropriation in Vote Transport to 1 other output expense appropriation in that Vote.
An order that was made under section 26A of the Act in respect of the financial year ending on 30 June 2011 and that is now spent is revoked.
