DECISION

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.189—Arrangement for conduct of an election
Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association
(E2014/189)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 10 OCTOBER 2014
Arrangement for conduct of election.

[1] On 8 September 2014 the Tasmanian Branch of the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association lodged with the Fair Work Commission the prescribed information in relation to an election for the following offices:

General President
Vice-President
Councillors (6)
Delegates to National Council (3)

[2]        Further prescribed information was received on 24 and 25 September 2014.

[3] 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. The Branch has requested that I allow a later day for the lodgement of the prescribed information under subsection 189(2) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (the Act). Having considered the reason for late lodgement, I allow lodgement on 8 September 2014 in this instance.

[2014] FWCD 7103

[4] 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.
