HAYNE J:   The facts and circumstances giving rise to these applications are set out in our reasons in Matter No S198 of 2007 between the applicant and the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission.

An appeal in neither of these matters would enjoy any prospect of success.

Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar in each matter to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.  I publish that disposition.

AT 9.44 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
