MS GALLAGHER: As required by the Financial Management Act, I table a number of instruments issued under sections 14, 16B, 17 and 18A of the act. Advice on each instrument’s direction and a statement of reasons must be tabled in the Assembly within three sitting days after it is given.
Section 14 of the act allows for existing appropriations to be varied by transfer of funds between appropriations. This variation must be authorised by the Treasurer and signed by another minister.
The transfer must also not reduce the appropriation of the losing agency by more than three per cent. This package includes two instruments signed under section 14: an appropriation of $305,000 has been transferred from the Department of Disability, Housing and Community Services to government payments of outputs to capital injection, reflecting the proposed capitalisation of minor works associated with the provision of working space for additional speech pathologists as part of the 2009-10 budget initiative addressing the speech pathology waiting list; and for the Department of Education and Training 100 per cent has been transferred from GPO to expenses on behalf of the territory to facilitate payments to the non-government schools in relation to the administration of the carbon neutral schools, and $106,000 has been transferred from expenses on behalf of the territory to GPO to enable the departmental management of the national partnership agreement—improving teacher quality.
Section 16B of the act, rollover of undisbursed appropriations, allows for underspent appropriations to be preserved from one financial year to the next as outlined in instruments signed by me.
