Supply Bill 2019

Introduction and First Reading

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:34): Obtained leave and introduced a bill for an act for the appropriation of money from the Consolidated Account for the financial year ending 30 June 2020. Read a first time.

Second Reading

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:35): I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

A supply bill is necessary until the budget has passed through the parliamentary stages and the Appropriation Bill 2019 receives assent. In the absence of special arrangements in the form of the supply acts, there would be no parliamentary authority for expenditure between the commencement of the new financial year and the date on which assent is given to the main Appropriation Bill. The amount being sought under this bill is $5,515 million.

Clause 1 is formal.

Clause 2 provides relevant definitions.

Clause 3 provides for the appropriation.

Debate adjourned on motion of Mr Brown.
