Notes:
1. Appropriations reduced under Appropriation Acts (Nos. 1,3&5): sections 10, 11, and 12 and under Appropriation Acts (Nos. 2,4&6) : sections 12,13, and 14. Departmental appropriations do not lapse at financial year-end. However, the responsible Minister may decide that part or all of a departmental appropriation is not required and request the Finance Minister to reduce that appropriation. The reduction in the appropriation is effected by the Finance Minister's determination and is disallowable by Parliament. 2. Advance to the Finance Minister (AFM) - Appropriation Acts (Nos. 1,3&5) : section 13 and Appropriation Acts (Nos. 2,4&6) : section 15. 3. The variance between total annual appropriation available and total appropriation applied in 2013-14 relates to payments funded from unspent prior year appropriation items. 4. An amount of $2.613m of Fair Work Commission direct appropriations has been quarantined and as such is unable to be utilised for Fair Work Commission purposes. It is expected to be formally reduced in July 2016. As there has been no formal reduction of the appropriation to comply with the Finance Ministers Orders, Fair Work Commission is required to recognise the full amount of available appropriation as Revenue from Government for 2013-14.
