LegislationReferenced in 3 bills
Appropriation (Parliament) (Supplementary 2024-2025) Bill 2025
This bill provides formal parliamentary approval for $5.407 million in supplementary funding for Queensland Parliament that was spent during the 2024-25 financial year. The Queensland Constitution requires all government spending to be authorised by Parliament, so this bill retrospectively approves unforeseen expenditure that has already occurred and been reviewed by the Auditor-General.
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill 2025
This bill authorises funding for the Queensland Parliament for the 2025-26 financial year. It allocates $146.5 million to the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service for their operations, and provides roughly half that amount as interim supply for 2026-27 to bridge the gap until next year's budget.
Appropriation (Parliament) Bill 2026
This bill authorises $154,805,000 to fund the running of the Queensland Parliament for the 2026-27 financial year, and provides $77,402,500 of interim funding for 2027-28. It is a routine annual appropriation bill required by law, separate from the main state budget. The bill was introduced on 23 June 2026 and has been referred to a committee.
