Electoral Act 1992

The expenditure cap, for a general election, for a registered political party is—

generally—the amount that is $92,000 multiplied by the number of electoral districts for which the party has endorsed a candidate in the election; and

for an electoral district—$92,000.

The expenditure cap, for a general election, for a candidate endorsed by a registered political party for an electoral district in the election is—

if 2 or more candidates are endorsed concurrently by the party for the electoral district—the amount that is $58,000 divided by the number of candidates concurrently endorsed; or

otherwise—$58,000.

The expenditure cap, for a by-election, for a candidate endorsed by a registered political party is—

if 2 or more candidates are endorsed concurrently by the party for the by-election—the amount that is $87,000 divided by the number of candidates concurrently endorsed; or

otherwise—$87,000.

However, if the amount of an expenditure cap mentioned in subsection (1), (2) or (3) has been adjusted under section 281F, the expenditure cap for a registered political party or candidate endorsed by a registered political party, for an election, is the amount most recently published as the expenditure cap by the commission under section 281F(3).
