Plant Health Australia (Plant Industries) Funding Act 2002.

The Commonwealth obligation is to pay to Plant Health Australia (PHA): (a) if the total PHA levy or charge receipts from the plant product for the year exceed the relevant Plant Industry Member’s fundable contribution liability for the year—an amount equal to that liability; or (b) if the total PHA levy or charge receipts from the plant product for the year are equal to, or less than, the relevant Plant Industry Member’s fundable contribution liability—an amount equal to those total receipts. The Commonwealth is to pay to PHA an amount equal to the total PHA levy or charge receipts from the PHA plant product for the year if there is no primary levy or charge on the plant product for the year. The payment to PHA is made subject to the condition that PHA must apply the whole of the payment (disregarding any reduction due to set off) towards discharging the Plant Industry Member’s fundable contribution liability for the year, and so much of the payment as is not so applied is repayable by PHA to the Commonwealth.
