As in other years, the distribution of assistance for 1997-98 under some programmes is dependent upon the recipient government undertaking to participate in programmes or approve particular projects. For a few programmes, final decisions on the distribution of payments among the States have still to be taken by the Commonwealth; for others, the final distribution for 1997-98 will not be settled until further data become available. In such cases, a provisional or notional estimate of the distribution is included. This does not commit the Commonwealth to a particular level of funding or indicate that a State has agreed to participate in the programme.
Specific purpose payments 'through' the States are indicated in the table by (*).
A summary of total payments 'to' and 'through' the States is provided at the end of the table.
