135O: Refunds paid out of Crown Bank Account without further appropriation

You could also call this:

"The government can quickly give you money back without asking for special permission first"

When the government needs to give you a refund under sections 135A to 135G of the Child Support Act, they can pay it directly from the Crown Bank Account. This means they don't need to get special permission each time to use the money for refunds. The Crown Bank Account is like a big bank account that the government uses for its money. This rule makes it easier and quicker for you to get your refund when you're supposed to.
