(2) The payment:

(a) must be made on the applicable terms and conditions (if any) for that outcome; and

(b) must be made in the amounts, and at the times, that are determined in writing by the Minister specified in column 4 of the table.

(3) This section does not, by implication, limit the power of the Commonwealth to:
