Philla Debacle is back
Phillida Bunkle is back in NZ - but only to appear in an interesting case in the High Court. Some chap from Lower Hutt, presumably with spare time in abundance, has bought a case under the Bill of Rights Act. He feels that his rights of representation have been violated by Phillida enrolling herself as a Wellingtonian, and then claiming an out of town allowance to live in Wellington, then forgetting where she lives...
From the Independent;
"Edwards, as a private citizen, is suing Elmar Toime (former chief registrar of electors), Murray Wicks (national manager, electoral enrolment centre) and the Wellington Central registrar of electors, Raewynne Uren who, in early 2001 was charged with deciding whether Bunkle had breached the Electoral Act prior to the 1999 election."
I hope she doesn't forget that she know lives in Europe when the hearing concludes.
