LegislationReferenced in 4 bills
Appropriation Bill 2020
This bill authorises government spending across two financial years. It formally approves $1.114 billion in supplementary funding for unforeseen costs during 2019-20, and provides $28.635 billion in additional interim supply for 2020-21 because the regular state budget was postponed due to the state election and COVID-19.
Appropriation Bill 2022
This bill authorises the Queensland Government to spend $69.86 billion in the 2022-23 financial year across all state government departments. It is the annual legal mechanism that allows the government to fund public services including health, education, transport, policing and emergency services.
Appropriation Bill (No. 2) 2021
This bill formally authorises $447.5 million in additional government spending that occurred during the 2020-21 financial year. The spending had already been incurred but required parliamentary approval under Queensland's Constitution. It is presented as a separate bill for timely transparency rather than being bundled with the next annual budget.
Appropriation (2020-2021) Bill 2020
This bill authorises the Queensland Government to spend approximately $60.86 billion in the 2020-21 financial year across all government departments. It also provides $30.43 billion in interim supply for early 2021-22 to keep services running until the next budget is passed.
