= <span id="EM"></span>Relevant notes from the Explanatory Memorandum = 161. This section, based on the corresponding section of the Australian Constitution, sets out the powers of the Houses of the Parliament. Under subsection (1), a proposed law for appropriation cannot originate in an upper House (meaning a House of the Parliament other than the House of Ordinaries). An upper House may not amend any proposed law for appropriation (subsection (2)), or so as to increase any proposed charge or burden on the people (subsection (3)). 162. Under subsection (4), there remains the possibility of an upper House to message the House of Ordinaries requesting the amendment of a Bill it cannot itself amend. 163. With the exception of Bills mentioned here, any House may introduce a law on any topic (subsection (5)). Also this section is subject to [[Constitution of Urabba Parks/Section 19|subsection 19(1)]], which means this section would not apply in the case of a vacancy in the whole of the House of Ordinaries (see [[Constitution of Urabba Parks/Section 19#EM|note 105]]). 164. This section clarifies that the Government of the day has the responsibility of initiating, through the Manager‑General, proposals for appropriation, known as the ‘financial initiative rule’. The financial initiative rule is regarded ‘as a safeguard against unrestrained and politically competitive financial proposals by members who have not the responsibility of government.*’ * JR Odgers, Australian Senate Practice, 6th edn, (1991), p 568.
