JUDGMENT
APPLICANT conducted his own case

MR C W HEATON (instructed by the Director of Public

Prosecutions (Queensland)) for the Crown

McPHERSON JA: Yes, well the Court has considered what you	10
have said, and we are of the opinion that on the last occasion
the Court considered, in detail, what was submitted by you in
writing. The Court is also of opinion that constitutes a
sufficient hearing and further, that if it matters, there was
no application to have the matter heard orally as distinct	20
from having the Court, as a matter of grace, consider the
further written submissions, which you presented to the Court
and which were considered in detail in paragraphs 11 and
following of the reasons of the Court on the last occasion,
that is, the reasons of this Court in hearing your initial	30
appeal against conviction. Your appeal, or if it is an application, your application is dismissed, this Court having no jurisdiction to hear it. That is the order of the Court.
