I see in the paper today that Francis Galbally is taking the club to the Supreme Court over their refusal to provide a list of members names and addresses. This is going to get very ugly I'm afraid.

Indeed.
The legal issue seems to be in relation to s 173 Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and how that interacts with privacy laws which might be the board's defence for not releasing the member register.

If this bullshit keeps up, there won't be any members names and addresses to list...
As a member I think the club is 100% correct not releasing my PPI to unrelated parties for political purposes. They don't have a claim to my data just because they're not president and they want to be.
Well it's no EGM now. This will all be argued out before the AGM in December. Hopefully the people involved in the challenge and the people at the club are not wasting too much money on the lawyers.
