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.
Please, half their Knee Jerk laws in relation to terorrism, police surveillance, and the now bikie clubs are unconstitutional.
If im standing on a street with 2 or more friends, we can be charged with an offence. Now thats bs .
