MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 10 JANUARY 2014
Alteration of other rules of organisation.

[1] On 19 December 2013, the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (the CEPU) lodged with the Fair Work Commission a notice and declaration setting out particulars of alterations to the rules of the Communications Division of the CEPU (the Divisional Rules).

[2] The particulars provide for the insertion of new rules 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F into the Divisional Rules. The alterations were made for the purpose of complying with provisions of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Amendment Act 2012 (the Amendment Act) regarding the rules of registered organisations. In particular, the alterations provide for specified disclosures, the implementation of policies relating to expenditure and the mandatory training of officers with duties that relate to the financial management of the organisation.

[3] The particulars also provide for alterations to rules 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 41, 47A, 50, 55, 59, 60, 62, 65, 66, 67, 75, 76, 76A, 86 and 90, and the deletion of rules 8, 34A, 42B, 91 and the Schedule, of the Divisional Rules which were not made for the purpose of complying with, or pertain to, the relevant provisions of the Amendment Act.

[4] On the information contained in the notice, I am satisfied the alterations have been made under the rules of the organisation.

[5] In my opinion, the alterations comply with and are not contrary to the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the RO Act), the Amendment Act, the Fair Work Act 2009, modern awards and enterprise agreements, and are not otherwise contrary to law. I

certify accordingly under subsection 159(1) of the RO Act.
