DECISION

Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009
s.189—Arrangement for conduct of an election
VIPA
(E2014/244)
MR ENRIGHT	MELBOURNE, 3 DECEMBER 2014
Arrangement for conduct of election.

[1] On 4 November 2014 the VIPA lodged with the Fair Work Commission the prescribed information in relation to an election for the following offices:

Committee of Management Members from each of the following electorates:

Tigerair

A320	(1)
VAA
B737	(7)
B777	(3)
A330	(2)
E-Jet	(3)
President Vice President Secretary Treasurer

[2] Following an initial examination of the application, an officer of the Regulatory Compliance Branch spoke to the applicant as to whether an election is due at this time for the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. An election for those offices was conducted in 2013 (E2013/266) with the successful candidates receiving two year terms.

[3] On 2 December 2014 I received amended prescribed information wishing to withdraw

the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer and further prescribed
information.

[4] 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 Organisation has requested that I allow a later day for the lodgement of the prescribed information under subsection 189(2) of the Fair [2014] FWCD 8630

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

I allow lodgement on 4 November 2014 in this instance.

[5] I am satisfied that an election for the remaining 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.
