(b)  the State will not pay any award restructuring assistance to the approved authority for a program year unless the authority has entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth for that year, or for a number of years including that year, being an agreement of a kind determined by the Minister.
"(5) Award restructuring assistance is granted to a State for an approved authority for a program year on the additional conditions that:
(a)  if the State does not fulfil a condition specified in an agreement entered into for the purposes of subsection (4) within the time (if any) specified for fulfilling the condition, the State will, if the Minister so determines, repay the Commonwealth an amount specified by the Minister in the determination, being an amount  not greater than the sum of the amounts of award restructuring assistance paid to the State for the authority for the year; and
(b)  if the approved authority does not fulfil a condition of the agreement, the Minister may delay making any further payment of award restructuring assistance to the State for the authority until the authority fulfils the condition.
"(6) If the Minister has determined under subsection (5) that a State should repay an amount to the Commonwealth, and part or all of the amount remains unpaid, the Minister may reduce the amount payable under this Act to the State for the approved authority for a program year by an amount not exceeding the amount that remains unpaid.
"(7) Nothing in this section authorises the recovery by the Commonwealth, in respect of award restructuring assistance granted to a State under a provision of this Part, of any amount from that State under that provision or of any amount under an agreement entered into for the purpose of that provision, if the sum of that amount and:
(a)  any amount  previously recovered from that State under that provision; and
(b)  any amount previously recovered under such an agreement;
would exceed the amount of that award restructuring assistance.
Publication of details of grants of award restructuring assistance
"40J. As soon as practicable after the end of each quarter in which payments of award restructuring assistance are made, the Minister must publish in the Gazette details of:
(a)  the amount of award restructuring assistance paid to each State in that quarter for government schools; and
(b)  the amount of award restructuring assistance paid to each State in that quarter for non-systemic schools; and
(c)  the amount of award restructuring assistance paid to each State in that quarter for systemic schools.".
