Is Cliver Palmer’s United Australia Party in trouble?
The Australian Electoral Commission has issued a Notice of Intention to Deregister Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party, citing too few members to continue.
They cite section 137(1)(b) of the Commonwealth Electoral act which states that a political party may be deregistered if “a political party so registered, not being a Parliamentary party, has ceased to have at least 500 members.”
More to come.
