I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

As I outlined previously, today I bring forward a package of four bills to support the implementation of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (the PGPA Act).

I now introduce the second of those bills, the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Consequential Modifications of Appropriation Acts (No. 1), (No. 3) and No. 5)) Bill 2014.

This bill will modify the application of the annual appropriation acts for 2014-15 (once passed by the parliament) and for the two previous financial years, in relation to amounts for the ordinary annual services of government contained in Appropriation Acts (No. 1), (No. 3) and/or (No. 5) for each of those years.

This bill will confirm the continuing ability of entities to access the appropriations approved by the parliament.

I commend the bill to the House.

Debate adjourned.
