of the committee
The Standing Committee on Appropriations and Staffing
determines the amounts for inclusion in the parliamentary appropriation bills
and reports to the Senate on its determinations prior to the Senate’s consideration
of those bills. The committee also examines matters affecting the staffing and
administration of the Department of the Senate, including proposals to vary the
staffing structure, and other matters referred to it by the Senate. It makes an
annual report to the Senate on the operations of the Senate’s appropriations
and staffing and related matters (Standing Order 19(3)). The committee has the
explicit capacity to scrutinise security funding and administration and to
advise the President and the Senate as appropriate. Under a resolution of the
Senate agreed to in 1987 the committee also examines proposed changes in the
structure and responsibilities of the parliamentary departments.
