Case adjourned

Dear ,

We've had our first day in court and I wanted to say a couple of things.

The Electoral Commission of Queensland says that as, in their view, the case raises Commonwealth Constitutional Issues, under Section 78B of the Judiciary Act 1903, the other state and commonwealth attorneys-general have a right to intervene.

We contend we are not raising a constitutional issue, but to allow the time for this to be argued, and for the attorneys-general to decide whether they wish to intervene, the matter has been adjourned until Monday March 16 at 2:30pm

I'd also like to thank those who have donated to us since yesterday. It's great that you are so supportive of what we are doing. If anyone else wants to help out please click here

I'd also like to thank our barrister Peter Dunning QC and his junior Angela Hellewell,as well as Tom O'Donnell, who is acting as our solicitor. They have done a sterling job, and I'm sure the Crown Law manoeuvring won't make any difference to the final result

Regards,
