(1) The sum of fifteen
(15) hundred million dollars is appropriated from the Consolidated Account for
the Public Service of the State for the financial year ending on 30 June 2004.
(2) Money must not be
issued or applied pursuant to that appropriation for any purpose in excess of
the amount appropriated by Parliament for the same purpose in respect of the
2002/2003 financial year.
(3) Where a purpose
for which Parliament appropriated money in respect of the 2002/2003 financial
year was to enable a particular agency to carry out its functions and duties
and—
(a) some
of the functions or duties of the agency are transferred to another agency; or
(b) the
agency is abolished or dissolved and some or all of its functions or duties
become the functions or duties of another agency,
the issue and application of money under this Act to enable the other agency
to carry out those functions or duties will be taken to be for the same
purpose as the appropriation of money for the firstmentioned agency in respect
of the 2002/2003 financial year.
