That sentence, in plain words

Money had been set aside to help after floods, storms and wars abroad. This takes back $496,000,000 of it.

What this is about

The money came from a 2025 spending law. The next item says food aid is not to be affected.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
