morning news fix for Thursday, twenty ninth of August. In
this update, former Green MP Darlene Tunna has filed an
injunction trying to prevent the party's special general meeting this weekend.

her from parliament. Tanna's challenge against the Greens will be
heard in the High Court in Auckland today. Otago University
law professor Andrew Gettis says that the court's being asked
to intervene in the internal affairs of a political party,
which is a voluntary organization. It's hard for the courts
really to tell a voluntary organization, hey, you have to
run in a particular way. Long overdue. Brigadier Rose King

and keeping EWE representation. Fourteen of fifteen regional counselors voted
to retain Natahoo councilors after local government Minister sime and
Brown ask them to consider sponsoring a local bill to
(02:40):
