MS GALLAGHER: As required by the Financial Management Act, I table copies of expenditure, authorisations and final charge against the 2008-09 Treasurer’s advance. Section 18 of the act allows the Treasurer to authorise expenditure from the Treasurer’s advance. Section 18A of the act requires that, within three sitting days after the daily authorisation is given, the Treasurer present to the Legislative Assembly a copy of the authorisation, a statement of the reasons for giving it and a summary of the total expenditure authorised under section 18 for the financial year.
Section 18A of the Financial Management Act also requires that, where a Treasurer has authorised expenditure under section 18 within three sitting days after the end of the financial year, the Treasurer must present to the Assembly a summary of the total expenditure authorised for that financial year.
Before I do this, I would like to mention that the unspent balance of the Treasurer’s advance is $9.4 million. This underscores the government’s ability to control costs and our strong track record on financial management.
This package includes nine instruments signed under section 18 of the act, which comprise $7.668 million for the Department of Territory and Municipal Services for
