MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 8 OCTOBER 2014

[2] 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 7 October 2014 the Branch 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. Having considered the written reasons for late lodgment, I allow lodgment on 24 September 2014 in this instance.

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

Australian Electoral Commission.
