Thanks Roger,

I see that unfortunately it is not necessary for MSNZ to use Clause 19,1 in support of the matter under consideration. Clauses 4.1, 4.11, and especially 4.15 provide an open cheque book. The constitution provides the individuals who finance the organisation, no protection whatsoever against the actions of the executive, who remain a law unto themselves. From a practical point of view the constitution constitutes toilet paper.

As it did 60 years ago, the key to the issue remains the MSNZ claimed exclusive representation of the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile ("FIA"). (Refer toilet paper clause 3.5.) N.B. FIA membership is limited to one National Automobile Club or Association per country. An FIA’ member’s activity must embrace the entire national territory and cover road traffic, touring, the defence of the rightful interests of users and their safety on the one hand, and motor sport on the other.

As it did 60 yrs. ago, the Automobile Association NZ (AA), in fact holds New Zealand membership within the FIA and this was somehow delegated to ANZCC which became MSNZ. Refer ---

The first step is to establish the exactly how MSNZ legally claims and establishes their exclusive rights to represent the FIA and then, investigate how the undemocratic MSNZ, might be controlled via their overlord, the AA. Surely it is the AA siting in the driver's seat.

How is it that only a single motor sport organisation remains exclusively under the umbrella of the AA?
