( Money bill)
In the Westminster system (and, colloquially, in the United States), a money bill or supply bill is a bill that solely concerns taxation or government spending (also known as appropriation of money), as opposed to changes in public law. It is often a constitutional convention that the upper house may not block supply. There is often another requirement that non-money bill type clauses may not be attached to a money bill. In Australia, the Senate may not originate or amend a supply bill, though it may refuse to pass it (which leads to a deadlock as happened in 1975). It is important to note that not all 'money bills' are necessarily supply bills, which have been defined as 'bills which are required by the Government to carry on its day-to-day business' [1] Procedure for a Money Bill
