McHUGH J:   This matter was listed for hearing in Canberra on Thursday, 2 May 2002 by a Bench comprising Justices Kirby, Callinan and myself.  Because of the unavailability of the appellant, however, it was agreed that written submissions would be filed by the appellant and the matter would later be determined on the papers.  I publish our joint reasons.

The order of the Court is:

Purported appeal is struck out as incompetent.

AT 10.03 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
