This bill is the Government's official spending plan for the year running from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. It asks Parliament to approve exactly how much money the Government can spend, and on what. Without Parliament saying yes, the Government cannot legally spend public money. The bill covers everything from hospitals and schools to defence and welfare payments. It also approves lump-sum investments into government departments, and sets aside money for projects that will run for more than one year.
