Recovery of amounts that are not payable
302AH Recovery of amounts that are not payable
If:
a registered political party or an individual is paid an amount of administrative assistance funding under this Division; and
the whole or a part of the amount paid was not payable to that party or individual;
the Electoral Commission may set off an amount equal to the amount that was not payable against one or more payments the Electoral Commission must make under this Division to that party or individual.
If the Electoral Commission is not able to do so, the amount the Electoral Commission is not able to set off is a debt due to the Commonwealth and may be recovered by the Commonwealth by action in a court of competent jurisdiction.
