CO-REGISTRANT’S OUTSTANDING DEBT TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA AS OF JUNE 30, 2009 AND ITS CONTINGENT LIABILITY AS CO-REGISTRANT OF THE OUTSTANDING DEBT OF OTHER ENTITIES AS OF THE END OF THE LAST FIVE FISCAL YEARS
 
Public Debt
 
The public sector indebtedness of the Co-registrant is comprised of a number of distinct categories: public debt to the Commonwealth of Australia, other state debt to the Commonwealth of Australia, New South Wales Treasury Corporation guaranteed debt and contingent liabilities.
 
During April 1995, the Australian Government and the Co-registrant entered into an agreement (the “Financial Agreement”) whereby the Co-registrant would pre-redeem its debt to the Commonwealth of Australia. This was carried out in July 1995 and the Co-registrant currently has no debt to the Commonwealth of Australia outstanding.
 
Other State Debt to the Commonwealth of Australia
 
During the 1950s and 1960s a series of loans were made by the Commonwealth to the States under various agreements (contained in the Housing Agreement Acts 1956, 1961, 1966, 1973 and Housing Assistance Acts 1973, 1978, 1984 — all Commonwealth legislation). These involved a series of concessional interest rate loans with annual repayments by the states. These loans were provided 1956-57 until 1993-94. Subsequently, housing assistance from the Commonwealth to the States has taken the form of grants.
 
The following table outlines the outstanding advances made by the Commonwealth of Australia under this category of debt.

Guaranteed Debt On-lent by the Registrant
 
The Registrant’s primary function has been to act as a central financing authority for on-lending funds raised by it to various New South Wales statutory bodies. Under the provisions of the Public Authorities (Financial Arrangements) Act 1987 of New South Wales, financial arrangements entered into by a statutory body may be guaranteed by the Co-registrant.
 
The Registrant’s guaranteed debt, which is guaranteed by the C-o registrant, as at the end of each of the last seven fiscal years, and the distribution of this debt among various borrowing authorities is detailed in the following table:
