Hi all,
more on ANZAC found on the NSWRA Web site:
16th December 2011.
MEMO: ALL MEMBERS – CLUB SECRETARIES NSWRA.
FROM: JOHN FITZGERALD – CHAIRMAN NSWRA.
SUBJECT: UPDATE - ANZAC RIFLE RANGE MALABAR.
Yesterday Thursday 15th December 2011 we appeared in the NSW Supreme Court in our action against the Commonwealth pertaining to our challenge against the validity of the Termination Notice issued on their behalf by Dept of Finance and Deregulation (DOFAD) to vacate the Anzac Rifle Range Malabar effective 31st January 2012.
By consent from both parties the Court made the following orders.
1 The matter proceed by way of pleadings.
2. The plaintiff (NSWRA) file and serve a statement of claim by 22nd December 2011.
3. The defendant (the Commonwealth) file and serve its defence by 20th January 2012.
4. The parties agree on categories of documents for discovery by February 1 2012.
5. The matter be listed for directions before the duty judge on 3 February 2012.
6. The parties have liberty to apply on three days’ notice.
7. Costs reserved.
The Commonwealth made an undertaking not to enforce the Termination Notice to NSWRA up to and including 3 February 2012. This means it is not necessary for us to file for an injunction for a stay of proceedings at this point in time – however if the Commonwealth withdraw this undertaking on the 3rd February we will immediately do so (file for an injunction)
The issues in our case against the Commonwealth are strong and in our statement of claim we
are in the process of compiling with our lawyers including:-
Reasonable Notice
Compensation/Damages
Misleading and deceptive conduct (on the part of the Commonwealth).
A considerable amount of research on our part has already been done and still needs to be done in preparation for our case. Between now and February 3 it is not anticipated a further memo will be issued unless something out of the ordinary occurs, which is most unlikely.
John Fitzgerald,
Chairman.

Its heartening to know we have someone of the calibre (no pun intended) of JF to lead this fight. I read in the press that Garrett was earmarked to be dropped in the Cabinet reshuffle, but he threatened to quit his seat and bring on a by-election, so he kept his place. Even his own party thinks he's a liability
