Attachment A:
Payments to the States
This attachment provides accrual estimates of Commonwealth payments to the States and local governments. This includes Commonwealth advances (loans) to the States, including new advances, interest on advances and repayments of advances. Most of these advances were funded from borrowings made on behalf of the States under previous Australian Loan Council arrangements.

Table 33 — general revenue assistance;
Table 34 — payments for specific purposes to and through the States, repayments of advances, advances and interest payments; and
