Appropriation (Supplementary 2024-2025) Bill 2025

This bill formally approves $5.74 billion in government spending that exceeded the original 2024-25 budget across 16 departments. It is a standard constitutional process — the money has already been spent and reviewed by the Auditor-General, and Parliament must now formally authorise it.

Greenhouse Gas Storage Amendment Bill 2025

This bill allows greenhouse gas exploration wells in the Great Artesian Basin to be converted into water supply bores for local landholders, rather than being plugged and abandoned. It was introduced after the 2024 ban on greenhouse gas storage in the Great Artesian Basin ended the only exploration permit (EPQ10), held by CTSCo, leaving several wells that need to be decommissioned.
