Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.189—Arrangement for conduct of an election
Shearing Contractors' Association of Australia, The
(E2014/72)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 14 MARCH 2014
Arrangement for conduct of election.

[1] On 18 February 2014 The Shearing Contractors' Association of Australia (the SCAA)

lodged with the Fair Work Commission the prescribed information in relation to an election
for the following offices:

Committee of Management members (12)

President
Vice-President (2)
Trustees (2)
Secretary-Treasurer

[2] The SCAA was informed that the prescribed information was not lodged before the day prescribed by Regulation 138(3) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations)

Regulations 2009. That day is the day occurring 2 months before the first day when a person

may, under the rules of the organisation or branch, become a candidate in the election. On 13 March 2014 the SCAA requested that a later date be allowed for lodgment of the prescribed information under subsection 189(2) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the Act) in circumstances that an administrative oversight had occured. Having considered the written reasons for late lodgment, I allow lodgment on 18 February 2014 in this instance.

[3] I am satisfied that an election for the abovenamed offices is required to be held under the rules of the organisation and, under subsection 189(3) of the Fair Work (Registered

Organisations) Act 2009, I am making arrangements for the conduct of the election by the

Australian Electoral Commission.
