That's something that I've considered.
These are all nil returns for all of these candidates affiliated with that movement. It is such a small task to sign a nil return that I think it could easily be done with different official agents.
I'm not sure what the policy rationale would be. In the case of the signature, there is a policy rationale for electors supporting the nomination of a particular candidate—not for any person in the world who wants to be a candidate. I think allowing a person to put on the table a series of 75 nomination papers and allowing people to sign them in a string does not conform to the idea behind candidate signatures. That's why i proposed this measure.
In the last four by-elections, I've had to adapt the prescriptions of the act to accommodate the number of candidates. That means I'm setting aside the will of Parliament, and I do not do that lightly. Parliament has designed the ballot in a certain way, and there can be conversations and debates on amendments as to whether this is the right way, but for me to set it aside is a significant gesture. I do not do that lightly, but there is no other way of allowing so many candidates. I do think that's an issue.
