Dowsett J then examined provisions of the Act. He concluded, correctly in my view, that the Liberal Party was a "political party" as defined in the Act, that it was registered pursuant to the Act, that prior to registration it must provide a copy of its constitution to the Electoral Commission, indicate its name and any abbreviations of the name which it will use and state whether or not it wishes to receive public monies under Division 3 of Part XX of the Act. He then considered Part XIV of the Act which deals with the nomination of candidates for election to the Federal Parliament. Pursuant to s166 of the Act, the registered officer of a registered political party may nominate the candidates endorsed by that party for a particular election. The name of the party may be printed on the ballot papers adjacent to the name of the endorsed candidate: see s169 and s169B. Dowsett J then considered Part XX of the Act which deals with election funding and financial disclosure, including s287A which, at that time, provided that "Divisions 4 and 5 apply as if a campaign committee of an endorsed candidate or endorsed group were a division of the relevant State branch of the political party that endorsed the candidate or the members of the group". Division 2 of Part XX provides for the appointment of agents of political parties and candidates. Division 3 relates to election funding. At the time, the Act provided that candidates and registered parties may be refunded up to 60 cents for each vote obtained in the case of a House of Representatives election and 30 cents for each vote in the case of a Senate election. Under the current legislation, the entitlement is $1.50 for each first preference vote in the election for both Houses of Parliament. The maximum amount recoverable is the total of electoral expenses actually incurred. Dowsett J noted that in the case of a registered political party, all expenses incurred with the authority of the candidate are deemed to be incurred by the party and are recoverable by the party. So far as I can see, this provision is not in the current legislation. For present purposes, it is unnecessary to set out in detail the provisions of the Act as to electoral funding. It is sufficient to say that s299 of the Act provides for the payments to be made to the agent of the State branch of the party that is organised on the basis the State or Territory in which the candidate or candidates stood for election or in other circumstances to the principal agent of the party. There are other provisions relating to individual candidates and Senate elections but what has been mentioned indicates the usual basis of payments.
