Definately was not a politician who bought the case. It was a Uni Professor specialising in Constitutional Law.
Basically, he says the Federal Govt does not have the right to hand out 'gifts'. He was not able to bring a case against it during the December payments as he was not going to get any money out of it and thus did not have a right to bring the case to court. He was/is going to be a recipient of the money this time around though.
Apparently the case is quite well regarded by the High Court, becasue if they thought this fellas argument had no merit at all, he would never have got a hearing in the first place.
Even though I have money earmarked for a new camera lens, I'd expect the government to NEVER break the constitution.
