TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON WEDNESDAY, 2 AUGUST 2006, AT 9.35 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant seeks special leave to appeal against orders of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia, dismissing the applicant’s appeal against orders of French J.  By those orders, French J dismissed the applicant’s appeal against the decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal that affirmed the cancellation of the applicant’s age pension.  French J determined that the applicant’s claims were misconceived and there was no error of law on the part of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application for special leave to appeal to this Court falls to be dealt with under r 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004.

There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court, or of French J.

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

AT 9.36 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
