occurring 2 months before the first day when a person may, under the rules of the organisation

later day for the lodgement of the prescribed information under subsection 189(2) of the Fair

Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009. Having considered the reason for late lodgement,

I allow lodgement on 9 February 2015 in this instance.
