Section 16B of the Financial Management Act 1996 allows for the Treasurer to authorise an appropriation to be rolled over from one financial year to the next. The attached section 16B instrument, signed by me as Treasurer, authorises a total of $94,000 of undispersed net cost of outputs appropriation relating to the back pay of salary increases from 2013-14 to 2014-15 fiscal year to the Legal Aid Commission.

Section 19B allows the Treasurer to authorise an appropriation for any new commonwealth payments where no appropriation has been made in respect of those funds. The attached section 19B instrument, again signed by me as Treasurer, provides for an increase of $213,400 in payment for expenses on behalf of the territory for the Education and Training Directorate for the more support for students with disability national partnership, non-government schools.

Additional details regarding these instruments are provided in the statement of reasons accompanying each of the instruments I have tabled this afternoon. I commend those instruments to the Assembly.

Paper and statement by minister

MR BARR (Molonglo—Deputy Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Housing and Minister for Tourism and Events): For the information of members I present the following paper:
