Dear Owen,

Thanks for your record-breaking determination on my recent FoI requests. I had mistakenly assumed that registers of membership of political parties would be held by the AEC. I now understand that membership lists for long-established parties are not held by the AEC.

Thanks for your rapid and informative response.

Sincerely,

Dan Monceaux
