STATES GRANTS (GENERAL PURPOSES) ACT 1990 No. 101, 1990 - SECT 12

12. (1) Financial assistance to which a State is entitled under this Act in
relation to the grant year is granted on the following conditions:

   (a)  that the State will pay to the Commonwealth an amount equal to the sum
        of the amounts (if any) that have been paid by the Commonwealth to
        institutions in the State during the grant year as a result of the
        Education Minister determining, under another Act, that such amounts
        are payable because the State has failed to fulfil a
        higher education funding condition;

   (b)  that the Treasurer may, after 31 May 1991, deduct from payment due to
        the State under this Act any amount that is payable by the State to
        the Commonwealth under paragraph (a) and remains unpaid.

(2) An amount deducted under paragraph (1) (b) from payment due to a State is
taken to have been paid by the State to the Commonwealth under paragraph (1)
(a).
