NAWR appeared in person.

MR S.B. LLOYD:   If it please the Court, I appear in this matter for the Minister.  (instructed by Blake Dawson Waldron)

GLEESON CJ:   Yes, Mr Lloyd.  Is the applicant here and with an interpreter?

MR LLOYD:   Yes, your Honour.

HAROLD NALLIAH, sworn as interpreter:

GLEESON CJ:   Applicant, do you wish to use the services of the interpreter all along or only when you get into difficulty with understanding?

NAWR (through interpreter):   I want the interpreter’s help, your Honour.

GLEESON CJ:   Very well.  Then go ahead and say, through the interpreter, what you wish to say?

NAWR (through interpreter):   Your Honour, I have already submitted everything in writing.  That is the only thing I have to say here.

GLEESON CJ:   Very well, thank you. 

This is an application for special leave to appeal against the decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court given on 10 February 2004.  There are insufficient prospects of success of an appeal to warrant a grant of special leave.  The application is dismissed with costs.

AT 11.56 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
