Hornery Case Could Be Dismissed

BY IAN CROUCH

Wallsend MP, Sonia Hornery could have her case for electoral roll misuse dismissed.

She's pleaded not guilty to gaining unauthorised access to the electoral roll to write to someone outside her electorate - charge which carries a $22,000 fine.

However, the prosecutor told Downing Centre Local Court yesterday, the case may be dismissed because it was very technical in nature.

The matter has been adjourned until September 25.
