HIS HONOUR:   For reasons that I now publish, I dismiss this application.

On 30 July 2018, Nettle J, pursuant to rule 6.07.2 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), directed the Registrar to refuse to issue or file an application presented for filing by the applicant without the leave of a Justice first had and obtained by the applicant.

By an ex parte application filed on 8 August 2018, supported by an affidavit, the applicant seeks leave to issue and file an application for an order to show cause against the Attorney‑General of the Commonwealth.  The application is difficult to understand.  In essence, the applicant seeks an order of mandamus on the basis of the applicant’s claim as “Wife/Mother of the World” and “on behalf of all Families” to require compliance with “the terms and conditions of the Court Order in Case D11241666, hereafter called ‘The Family Undertaking’ . . . by 21/7/22”.

Neither the application nor the supporting affidavit raises any matter of legal substance.  In terms of rule 6.07, the application to show cause, if issued, would be an abuse of process and vexatious.  Leave to issue and file the application to show cause is refused.

The Court will now adjourn.

AT 9.36 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
