Non-Custodial Parents Party (Equal Parenting).
Request for Candidates and/or Volunteers.
The forthcoming Federal Election will be held on Saturday, 21 August 2010. The Election is one of the few avenues where we can show the major political parties that family law issues are important.
Would you consider either?
1. Providing a donation to the Non-Custodial Parents Party (Equal Parenting)’s election fund (donations are tax deductible up to $1,500.00).
2. Running as a candidate for the Non-Custodial Parents Party (Equal Parenting)? A candidate’s election costs are tax deductible. (You only need to be an Australian citizen. However you cannot be an employee of the Commonwealth Government at the time of the Election).
or
3. Giving out “how-to-vote” cards on the day of the Election. Our target is to run, at least, two (2) candidates for the Senate in the each of the six (6) States and the two (2) Territories. We also aim to run candidates for the House of Representatives.
If you wish to run as a candidate, we would have to ask you to pay your own deposit ($1,000.00 for the Senate and $500.00 for the House of Representatives). We may be able to help out with printing costs.
Please note that the closing date for nomination of candidates is 12 Noon Thursday, 29 July 2010 (Note: routine AEC paperwork has to be also signed by either the Party Secretary or Deputy Registered Officer beforehand.)
The key elction dates are:
Announcement: Saturday, 17 July 2010.
Issue of writ: Monday, 19 July 2010.
Close of nominations: 12 noon Thursday, 29 July 2010.
Declaration of nominations: 12 noon Friday, 30 July 2010.
Election day: Saturday, 21 August 2010.
Your assistance and support would be appreciated.
