Election Expenses May 2018: Some Data

Did you know that it is possible for any member of the public to view the election expenses in the May elections? The law states that:

"The Greffier shall make declarations received by him or her under this Law available for inspection, free of charge, at the offices of the Judicial Greffe, during normal working hours."

Reasonably available is a moot point, when you have to go to the Judicial Greffe during office hours - they are closed lunchtime - and get someone who is authorised to be there to deliver a file to you, which they place on a table for you to view.

So they are available to the general public, just not easily so!

I put up the election expenses for the Senators here:

And now here are the rest, which is topical because of the recent furore about Hugh Raymond, Scott Wickenden, and the Third Man. (Curiously, Harry Lime did not stand for election!)

Caveats:

1) Because I had limited time, and was scribbling madly, there may be errors in what follows. Each expense form is made from direct expenses, and notional expenses and donations. Notional expenses are when someone supplies services or work at below the market rate, or even at no cost, so that a notional cost of what they would be is placed on the form. This is to ensure a level playing field.

2) Because of the complexities of Reform Party allocation of expenses - website, posters, election material, which was shared across all candidates, or sometimes within a district (posters, for example), it was beyond me in the time allowed to get what figures were needed for each Reform candidate - perhaps they can publish their own expenses data on their website, which would be public spirited and transparent, and save someone the trouble of trying to allocate all the bits and pieces.

3) Because of limited time, I did not manage to get election expenses for all candidates, even ones not of Reform. I only had around 30-40 minutes to spare. Hugh Raymond does not appear on my list, but I could have simply missed seeing his data. Scott Wickenden, interestingly, had an expenses submission in the file.
