Court judgment rescheduled to 4 Oct.

The Magistrates' Court judgement against Labor's MaryAnn Lindsay has been rescheduled to 10am, 4th October.

Magistrate English will determine whether Ms Lindsay misled and deceived voters by not disclosing her Labor Party membership in her official candidate statement, and may make recommendations to the Local Government Minister about changes to the Local Government Act and the way council elections are conducted.

Whatever the result is, Noel Allsop, HBCF, the legal team and witnesses have done a great job in successfully taking the case to a trial following three directions hearings, and then presenting a very thorough and strong case. Well done!

If 67 voters erroneously voted for Ms Lindsay instead of Noel Allsop (thinking Ms Lindsay was not a member of a political party) then Ms Lindsay would have been the first candidate eliminated from the vote count.
