Psychic admits some doubt his actions
PA Auckland The Auckland psychic, Mr Colin Amery, readily admits that his reputation for being a little weird prevented some people from taking his action against the French agents seriously. Mr Amery claimed in 1977 to have discovered the site of a crashed space-ship buried in the Egyptian desert. Mr Amery later that year announced he was searching for a hidden city on the Nullarbor Plain of Australia; and who made public predictions of election results and Domesday dates a few years ago. He predicted Domesday as October 7, 1986, and he correctly gave Labour to win the 1984 General Election. Mr Amery has been in and out of the news since he and his wife, Alison Davidson, practised as
tarot card readers in Auckland during the 19705. They moved to Australia in 1977 with their year-old daughter, Nimue, to look for the hidden city. Only a few months later Nimue died of heatstroke after being left sleeping in a car, and the couple were charged with her unlawful killing. In February, 1978, the case was dismissed in a Brisbane Magistrate’s Court. The couple returned to New Zealand. Before the couple returned to New Zealand Ms Davidson had a premonition about a bomb which exploded in the Sydney Hilton Hotel while the then Prime Minister, Mr Rob Muldoon, was staying there. The couple telephoned the hotel six times the previous day but were not allowed to speak to him.
