Case adjourned

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
