Electoral (Amendment)(No. 2) Bill 2002

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Bill would extend the deadline for candidates and others to submit statements of general-election expenses for the 17 May 2002 election, from 56 to 90 days after polling day, with power for the Minister to allow more time. It aimed to allow the Supreme Court appeal in the Kelly case, about certain election-spending exemptions, to be resolved before the statements were filed.
