the heading "Administered", are "notional". They are not part of the

authorised by the item.

  For the purposes of this Act, notional transactions between

25 

transactions. 

26 

Note: 

This section applies, for example, to a "payment" between 

27 

non-corporate entities that are both part of the Commonwealth. One of 

28 

the effects of this section is that the payment will be debited from an 

29 

appropriation for the paying non-corporate entity, even though no 

30 

payment is actually made from the Consolidated Revenue Fund. This 

31 

is consistent with section 76 of the Public Governance, Performance 

32 

and Accountability Act 2013.

19 

(sunsetting) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 applies to the 

20 

determination.
