I don't read these motions the way this article does. As I read them the only matters exempted from possible referral to HCA are those on the public record pre-election, which could have been petitioned within the 40 days. #S44
If a member updates their nomination declaration within 28 days as required, that update is neither "disclosed [..] on the Register during the immediate preceding Parliament" nor "disclosed in accordance with Part XIV of the Commonwealth Electoral Act" so how is it exempt? #S44
Part XIV refers to material submitted at the time of nomination. If a member submits new information that augments/explains/corrects within the 28 days then that is not covered under Part XIV and they can be referred to the committee. #S44
