Over the next six weeks, while Alister Air (the main Leftlink moderator) is away on holiday, Leftlink will be running at a reduced capacity, as we have been unable to find anyone with Majordomo experience to fill the gap. I will be filling in for Alister, but due to other calls on my time, I am only able to guarantee that the following types of mail will definitely be posted to the list: * Notices of upcoming events in all states * Action Alerts * Media releases Other types of mail may get posted also, but it will depend on how much is sent to the list and what time I have available to process it. If you are sending articles that are available online, it would be preferrable if you could provide a few paragraphs about the article and give the URL where it can be located online. Alister is due back on 11 January...

LL:ART: Hill could lose seat in court challenge - experts
http://www.smh.com.au/news/9812/02/text/pageone8.html The Sydney Morning Herald 2 Dec 1998 Hill could lose seat in court challenge - experts Date: 02/12/98 By GREG ROBERTS One Nation's sole Federal MP, Queensland senator-elect Mrs Heather Hill, is likely to be forced out of Parliament by a High Court challenge launched yesterday, even though she is understood to have quietly renounced her British citizenship, constitutional experts believe. They also say the challenge may force both Houses of Parliament to consider passing resolutions clarifying the status of MPs with dual citizenship. A petition by a Chinese-born Brisbane businessman, Mr Henry Sue, lodged in the High Court in Sydney, seeks Mrs Hill's disqualification under section 44 of the Constitution, which says citizens of a foreign power are "incapable of being chosen or of sitting" in Parliament. The Jewish community signalled it would throw its financial weight behind the challenge, but One Nation's Mr David Oldfield reacted angrily, saying Australia would be "better off" without the Asian-Australians who launched it. A similar challenge was lodged in Brisbane by a former One Nation candidate, Mr Terry Sharples, but Mr Sharples admitted he did not have the funds to finance it. * This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
