I would like to see something done and am willing to help, however I'm not
sure what's involved.

Just a quick update on legal situation.
Joe Bryants' lawyer has faxed copies of various legal documents and
promised
to email versions suitable for web. Also planning to lodge complaint
with UN.
Not currently planning further urgent appeal against decision not to
give an
urgent hearing to appeal against above decision (URL in subject
header).
Original High Court case on constitutional issues will sit there for
a
long
time (in my view also needs amending).
Petitions to Court of Disputed returns need to be decided on fairly
soon,
but not immediately. (Anyone working on the marginal seats
spreadsheet I
suggested?). Would need people without assets enrolled as electors
in
the
actual seats, so desirable to start looking soon if we are likely to
go
ahead
- must meet the 40 day deadline from declaration of poll.
Could also be useful for preparing coherent arguments for ongoing
campaign
generally.
Any action against illegality of the 1998 election should be done
immediately
as it isn't really a matter for the Court of Disputed Returns and
non-urgent
High Court case tacitly accepts the coercion as not being serious
enough
to
invalidate the election.
Nothing will be done about that unless there is strong support for
doing
so.
Anyone who thinks we should better say so now. At present we will
not be
doing
anything for serious legal challenge by default.
As it is 3:45am I'll leave responses to other important recent
messages
for another day.
