Notes

1            This form is designed to update the pecuniary interests declared in the ordinary return or primary return last filed by you that covered the return period ending on 30 June last year. Specifically, the purpose of this form is for you to identify additional pecuniary interests for the period 1 July to 31 December of last year. The form must generally be filed by 31 March. Certain interests do not need to be disclosed if they have been disclosed in your most recent ordinary return or primary return.

2            In the case of new Members (other than re-elected Members) who have not yet filed an ordinary return, your primary return is to be treated as your most recent ordinary return for the purposes of completing this supplementary ordinary return. It should also be noted that new Members do not need to disclose anything that occurred, or was received or had, before the date on which the pledge of loyalty was taken. Also, as a result of this, some new Members will have a supplementary ordinary return period that is shorter than the period 1 July to 31 December of last year.

3            Additional pecuniary interests must be declared where, during the supplementary ordinary return period, you have:

(a)	held any interests in real property, which are additional to those already declared in your most recent return, or
(b)	received income from any source, or
(c)	received any gifts or contributions to travel, or
(d)	held any interests or positions in corporations, which are additional to those already declared in your most recent return, or

(f)	incurred a liability to pay a debt to any person, which is additional to those already declared in your most recent ordinary return, or
(g)	had any dispositions of property (within the meaning of Part 3 of the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983) in which you have retained a benefit, or
(h)	provided any “client services”.

4            Section A must only be completed where, in respect of the supplementary ordinary return period last year, you do not have any additional pecuniary interests to declare as required by the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983.

Section B must only be completed if you have additional pecuniary interests set out in item 3 (a) to (h) of these notes in respect of the supplementary ordinary return period last year. You must identify each of the additional pecuniary interest in the relevant table in Section B. In Section B, where there are no pecuniary interests or other matters of the kind required to be disclosed under a particular heading in the form, the word "NIL" is to be placed in the appropriate space under that heading. You must disclose the following kinds of pecuniary interests even if you disclosed them in the same or a similar entry in your most recent return:

(a)	income received from any source,
(b)	any gifts or contributions to travel that you received,
(c)	any dispositions of property (within the meaning of Part 3 of the Constitution (Disclosures by Members) Regulation 1983),
(d)	any “client services” you provided.

5            If you have ceased to hold a pecuniary interest that you declared in your most recent ordinary return (for example, you have divested yourself of real property), you may (but are not required to) attach a separate document identifying those pecuniary interests that you have ceased to hold.
