The underlying reasons for this allowance of absence is that in the Cook Islands or in the outer islands there is an absence of educatio\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0

4.2. Having considered the statements of the elector dated 14th July 2004 and 7 August 2004 and all other relevant documentation I find the circumstances to be as follows. Mr Maireriki left Penrhyn for Rarotonga in the latter half of 1999. Until his
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 departure from Penrhyn he worked for the Ministry of Marine Resources. When he arrived in Rarotonga he continued to work for the Ministry of Marine Resources until February 2000. He became a trainee at Teachers' Training College more than three months af
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 t\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
er arriving in Rarotonga. The Elector had a motor accident in August 2001 and was referred to New Zealand for medical treatment which, he says, he is still receiving. The College was not able to produce any documentation relating to him, although summonse
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 d\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
 to do so. If the elector left Penrhyn in 1999 for a reason other than to undergo training, the position by early 2000, after the expiration of three months from the date of his departure from Penrhyn, would be that he already had become disqualified unde
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 r\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  section 7(4). In that case medical evidence relating to the accident in August 2001 would be of no relevance.

. The crucial question therefore is whether at the time when the elector left Penhryn the departure was for the sole purpose of going to Rarotonga to undertake an educational course or whether he decided upon a teaching career only after reaching Rarotong
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 a\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
. The onus is on the elector. The absence of any record of an application by the elector to the Teachers' College in 1999 is striking. Because of the absence of such evidence, I find that the elector is not qualified to be on the Penhryn Roll. He may well
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0  \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 qualify for the Nikau constituency on Rarotonga but that is not for me to decide.

4.4. This young woman travelled from Penrhyn to Rarotonga in February 2004 to give birth to her first child. The Outer Islands patient referral form stated \hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 
as the reason for referral to the Rarotonga Hospital "anti-natal primigravida". The latter word is a noun meaning a woman who is pregnant for the first time. The form is devoid of any reference to medical difficulties or problems in the pregnancy. I find 
\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 t\hich\af0\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 hat the reference was not one involving medical treatment. She was referred simply because it was a desirable precaution for a young person having her first child.
