Kenyan-born lawyer Lucy Gichuhi has been confirmed as South Australia’s new senator after the High Court rejected a late challenge by Labor.
Former Family First senator Bob Day was ineligible to have been elected, the High Court has ruled today.
More than 150 unsecured creditors of former senator Bob Day’s failed building company in South Australia will not be paid the money they are owed after the businessman left his companies to “run themselves” when he entered politics.
Former Family First Senator Bob Day says he would “relish the opportunity to get to the High Court” as the latest twist in his political fall from grace threatens to cost his party its sole federal seat.
