Australian man privately prosecuted five local councillors, leaving council unable to function

David Penman, a small business owner in Daylesford, Victoria, used little-known laws to privately prosecute five councillors on his local council, forcing them to stand down. The council was left with only two members, unable to make major decisions, effectively paralysing the local government. Penman said he was unhappy with the council's work and took the legal action as a last resort.

Should citizens have the right to privately prosecute local councillors to force them to stand down?
