I thank the
honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1) Yes.
(2) The
National Party lodged an annual return prepared for section 314AB of the
commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, as provided for in section 175N of the Western
Australian Electoral Act 1907, on 23 November 2012. In making a subsequent
change to that commonwealth return on 16 January 2013, the party was required
to lodge a copy of that amendment with the Western Australian Electoral
Commission, which it did that same day. There is no requirement for a reason to
be supplied when an amendment is made to an electoral return.
