Further news on the Kovacic Appeal.
Information sourced from the Court of Appeal inform us that
the appeal lodged by Val Kovacic against the decision of Her Honor J. Wilson handed
down in the Supreme Court on the 22nd December 2008, has been discontinued by Mr.
Kovacic.
This may now provide a small ray of hope for James to
participate in events in Qld but only when all court matters and costs have been resolved,
and only when and if the Queensland SKC decide to remove the application of rule
19.05.
Until then the 19,05 application imposed on Kovacic and
supported by the Supreme Court decision will continue to determine any entry submitted for
competition will not be accepted nor eligible for events in Qld.
Lets hope this will all
be resolved soon , and the officials in Qld shown the contrition due to them by Mr.
Kovacic Snr.

ACCC
INSTITUTES LEGAL ACTION AGAINST AUSTRALIAN KARTING ASSOCIATION (NSW) See story link on
left
____________________________________________________________________
June 16, 2009 New laws were
passed in parliament yesterday. Goal terms of up top 10 years are now law...The law will
cover price fixing, customer manipulation,
restriction of supply and rigging of tenders by companies that are
natural competitors.
Authorities will
be able to tap phones to gain evidence against operaters ,and they could face criminal
proceedings as a result.
Serious breaches
will be made criminal offences for the first time and carry a maximum penalty for
individuals of 10 years in jail and a $220,000 fine.
Liberal Senator
Helen Coonan told the Senate the issue was a high-profile one after Visy and Amcor were
found to have run a price-fixing cartel.Assistant Treasurer Nick Sherry said criminalising
serious cartel conduct would help consumers, businesses and the economy.
The Trade Practices Amendment (Cartel Conduct and Other Measures) Bill 2008 passed with
amendments.

| Marshal Watson has
been rightly restored to National Champion (Senior National Heavy) status after a lengthy
delay involving an appeal at AKAC...in a completely out of mind display by the nations
highest level of accredited stewards, Marshall,who crossed the line first was then
displaced from 1st to 3rd when stewards incorrectly identified his kart as not resuming
the track in his correct position after having being punted off .. Despite it being
established that the assistant clerk got it wrong, the stewards set about to find evidence
to support their incorrect decision instead of accepting they were wrong. It is just beyond comprehension that the highest level of
accredited stewards can get it so wrong at race meetings, and even decide to
act outside their own authority to secure a conviction when the evidence clearly points
the other way, now also confirmed by the AKAC Court members.
This is essentially fabricating evidence, and
Watson had to drive 4500 Kilometres ( Townsville to Sydney and back) to
present his appeal - had to take time off work - pay $2200 in appeal fees - fuel costs -
accommodation costs - and then incur an adjournment requested by the AKA in order
for them to seek legal advice , when that same privilege is not permitted to a driver
appellant - If that is not bad enough, the AKA submitted a statutory declaration from
one official that was in total contrast to evidence from 5 other people -!!
Anyway Watson's appeal fee will be returned, but the
other costs involved in presenting a case will never be recovered - and it is as plain and
the nose on your face that the AKA system of "right of appeal" is designed to be
in total favour of the AKA, and the bad decisions made by people who are expected to know
what they are doing require enormous resources in order to be challenged.. ..it is obvious
by this appeal that the officials at the event got it completely wrong, and that their
actions should also be addressed and by demotions , then maybe this nonsense won't
happen again...
Congratulations Marshall from all the crew at RV ....

The new rage in karting (unless you doing 270k handouts of karters money without asking
them) is censorship. A full article is being prepared on the merits and demerits of the
subject as we speak.
But for keen readers of karting news that don’t get access to things like loans to
clutch suppliers because the AKA tries to hide them in supposed ‘in camera’
sessions which are only briefly minuted or not at all, for years now we’ve had the KA
forum, and more recently the NKN forum.
Keener correspondents have noted all sorts of supposed editing and removal of entire
subjects and the NKN seems to be the latest of the capitulators to the AKA non bagging
policy.
For the umpteenth time, we say it again, if the AKA just followed it’s own rules and
procedures, it might cop a few complaints, but there be nothing substantial to vent on the
forums and get this, surprise surprise, karting administration might become functional
again ! The forum is now at www.auskart.com. Have a look, register and reinforce
your right to have a say or if you want another venue that will allow your say visit
