Hello,
Katter’s Australian Party was recently mentioned in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No. GN 24, Wednesday, 22 June 2011.
The Country Alliance Party was also mentioned in this edition. The Country Alliance Party have since been officially registered by the AEC with confirmation expected in Wednesday 3rd August’s edition of the Commonwealth Gazette, however Katter’s Australian Party has not.
Does this mean that there were objections lodged against the party, and if so, what were the nature of the objections? How will the Party be responding?
Kinds regards,
BKoP Team

As you have ascertained, the AEC did receive an objection to our registrations which has been forwarded to and will be opposed by The Australian Party.
The objection was made suggesting the application was in breach of section 129 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act. The Party understands that the Commission will make a decision on the objection in the next few weeks.
If you would like further comment, please call and we would be happy to provide.
Regards
Scott Barrett
