HER HONOUR: On 30 October 2018, the applicant filed an ex parte application for leave to issue or file what is described as an “election petition”. On 28 August 2018, Nettle J directed that pursuant to rule 6.07.2 of the High Court Rules 2004 (Cth) the application was not to be issued or filed without leave of a Justice first having been obtained by the applicant. That is this application. I would refuse the ex parte application for leave to issue or file the “election petition”. I publish my reasons.

In matter H4 of 2018 the order of the Court is:  the ex parte application for leave to issue or file the “election petition” dated 30 October 2018 is refused. 

I publish that order.

AT 9.34 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
