100% correct with the GAP comment Popa Gas - whether or not Mr Calverley was for or against the purchase doesn't mean anything as rule 21.2cc says that for any capital expenditure over $250,000 that the clubs have to vote and approve such expenditure (this rule came in because of the world famous in NZ 'Rocketship' debacle) - so essentially the LP rep or indeed the board didn't make the call on purchasing the property it was a club decision.
I also heard that he was against reducing the petrol vouchers from $40. If the voting for the vouchers was done in committee then theoretically no one should know how anyone voted - but the LP rep probably knows as well as anyone that information tends to get out and conclusions are jumped to and he would know that by voting against it would mean a death knell for him so I tend to believe what I have heard and that is that he didn't vote for the change.
My biggest concern here is that a great deal of money has probably been spent (assume legal opinions, etc) and probably going to be spent (re running the election - unless the board invoke rule 18.2 . Money that would surely be better spent on other things (such as stake money).
I seem to remember a similar approach around the South Island rep a few years back
