Appropriation (Capital 2025–26) Bill 2025
Receipt and first reading
Bill received from the Assembly and, on motion by Hon Samantha Rowe (Parliamentary Secretary), read a first time.
Second reading speech
Hon Samantha Rowe (Parliamentary Secretary) (8:24 pm): I move:
That the bill be now read a second time.
The bill seeks supply and appropriation from the consolidated account for capital purposes during the 2025–26 financial year, as expressed in the schedule to the bill and as detailed in the agency information in support of the estimates in the 2025–26 budget statements. Included in the capital expenditure and financing transactions estimates of $8,298,357,000 is an amount of $316,090,000 authorised by other statutes, leaving an amount of $7,982,267,000 that is to be appropriated in the manner shown in the schedule to the Appropriation (Capital 2025–26) Bill 2025.
Pursuant to standing order 126(1), I advise that this bill is not a uniform legislation bill. It does not ratify or give effect to an intergovernmental or multilateral agreement to which the government of the state is a party, nor does this bill, by reason of its subject matter, introduce a uniform scheme or uniform laws throughout the Commonwealth.
I commend the bill to the house and table the explanatory memorandum.
(See paper 429.)
Debate adjourned, pursuant to standing orders.
