Auckland, New Zealand : A case that's clearer curiouser and more curiouser is now before the courts so I am curious to know how many times this section has been breached in the past, and will I be taking section 17 of the Constitution as reported, too literally, to suggest that Queen Salote could not have legally opened Parliament during her entire reign? - Sefita Hao‘uli -
