User Guide to the

Portfolio Supplementary Additional Estimates Statements

vii

User Guide The purpose of the 2013–14 Portfolio Supplementary Additional Estimates Statements (SAES), is to inform Senators, Members of Parliament and the public of the proposed allocation of additional resources to Government outcomes by agencies within the portfolio.

The SAES facilitate understanding of the proposed appropriations in Appropriation Bill (No. 5) 2013–14 and Appropriation Bill (No. 6) 2013–14. In this sense the SAES is declared by the Appropriation Acts to be a ‘relevant document’ to the interpretation of the Acts according to section 15AB of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Appropriation Bill (No. 5), which follows on from Appropriation Bill (No. 1) tabled at Budget and Appropriation Bill (No. 3) tabled at Additional Estimates, will provide additional expenditure authority for the ordinary annual services of government in respect of the 2013–14 financial year. Appropriation Bill (No. 6), which follows on from Appropriation Bill (No. 2) tabled at Budget and Appropriation Bill (No. 4) tabled at Additional Estimates, will provide additional expenditure authority in respect of the 2013–14 financial year for capital works and services, payments to or for the States, Territories and local government authorities, and new administered outcomes not authorised by specific legislation.
