BOB Katter has compared a Supreme Court legal battle over whether his surname can be included on state election ballot papers to Wally Lewis being unfairly sin-binned during a State of Origin match.
A hearing before Justice Roslyn Atkinson is set to resume in Brisbane on Wednesday to determine whether Katter’s Australian Party and it’s Queensland leader Aidan McLindon’s application to prevent the Electoral Commission of Queensland further producing and distributing ballot papers featuring the registered abbreviation “The Australian Party” is successful.
The party is seeking to have its full registered name “Katter’s Australian Party (Queensland Division)” included on the voting paperwork.
The court heard yesterday the party had applied to the ECQ to have the abbreviated name registered and the state Electoral Act clearly outlined that the a party’s shortened title would be used on the ballot paper once approved.
The matter was adjourned after the applicants raised “constitutional issues” including an alleged conflict between the ECQ, which approved the party’s application for the registration of the shortened name and the Australian Electoral Commission, which rejected it.
The hearing is set to resume tomorrow having allowed for consultation with state and federal attorneys general.
Speaking ahead of the resumption Mr McLindon said the legal action was about “the most comprehensive of conflicts” between the state and federal commissions.
Mr Katter said the absence of his name from state ballot papers was “seriously damaging to our electoral chances” before drawing a link between the legal fight and Wally Lewis being sin-binned while playing for Queensland in 1988.
“A pall of gloom and hopelessness fell upon the stadium and the team and a most remarkable thing took place,” he said.
“Whilst could be reasonably expected that our team’s chances were hopeless, the team got very very enraged by what they considered to be an extremely unfair and unjust decision which deprived them of their right to win that football match and they played so much more aggressively that in fact we went forward during that period of play.
“We hope and we pray that that is what will happen with our vasty army of supporters that is out there.”
More than six million ballot papers have already been printed ahead of the March 24 poll.
Premier Anna Bligh said her legal advice was the state election may have to be delayed if the court found in the Australian Party’s favour.
