I am not clear, but I think it perhaps refers to funds that are needed for just terms compensation, which we might get to debate. This is under division 4: ‘Compensation for acquisition of property’. Are we talking about funds that will be appropriated accordingly under this section and which will be released with the passage of these bills, or are we talking about funds that are yet unknown which will need to be released over the course of the next five years because the appropriation bills before us are only for 12 months?
