TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2017, AT 9.44 AM

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

The applicant sought to file an application for an order to show cause against the Attorney‑General for the Commonwealth.  The application is difficult to understand but appears to be directed to vindicate aspects of the applicant’s claim as “Mother of ALL” to achieve “compliance with the Family Undertaking . . . for all Families by 21/7/18”.

On 21 September 2017, Nettle J, pursuant to r 6.07.2 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth), directed the Registrar to refuse to issue or file the application without the leave of a Justice first had and obtained by the applicant.

On 26 September 2017, the applicant filed an ex parte application seeking leave to have the application issued and filed.  An affidavit by the applicant was filed in support of the application.  To the extent that this material is intelligible, it only serves to confirm that the application to show cause is frivolous and vexatious.

A letter from the applicant dated 4 December 2017, received by the Registry this morning, does not alter this conclusion.

Leave to issue and file the application should be refused.  The application is dismissed.

Court will now adjourn until 10.15 am.

AT 9.44 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
