Paper and statement by minister

MS GALLAGHER (Molonglo—Treasurer, Minister for Health and Minister for Industrial Relations): For the information of members, I present the following paper:

Financial Management Act, pursuant to section 16B—Instrument authorising the rollover of undisbursed appropriation of the Department of the Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water, including a statement of reasons, dated 20 October 2009.

I seek leave to make a statement in relation to the paper.

Leave granted.

As required by the act, I table a copy of recent authorisations made to roll over undisbursed appropriation from 2008-09 to 2009-10. This package includes only one instrument signed under section 16B. The appropriation being rolled over was not spent during 2008-09 and is still required for 2009-10 for the completion of the projects identified in the instrument.

The instrument authorises a total of $1.617 million in rollovers for the Department of the Environment, Climate Change, Energy and Water, comprising $679,000 of recurrent appropriations and $938,000 of capital injection appropriations. I have agreed to these rollovers where the appropriation clearly relates to project funds or where commitments have been entered into but the related cash is not yet required or cannot be expended during the year of appropriation.

The rollover of $938,000 capital injection for DECCEW includes:
