MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (5.43): Section 18 of the Financial Management Act provides the Treasurer with the authority to authorise appropriation if there is an urgent or unforeseen need for expenditure during a financial year. The Treasurer’s advance must not exceed one per cent of the total amount appropriated by all appropriation acts for that year. In the 2016-17 fiscal year a total of $33.958 million was expended against the Treasurer’s advance of $47.6 million. In 2017-18 an amount of $49,471,930, representing one per cent of total appropriations for the financial year, has been included in the Appropriation Bill 2017-2018. I commend the Treasurer’s advance to the Assembly.
