Dudzinski v Harris [2001] FCA 829

Dudzinski v Harris [2001] FCA 829

The renewed application for interlocutory relief concerning Newstart Allowance was dismissed because similar relief had already been refused, the applicants had not shown any relevant change in circumstances addressing the earlier finding that there was no serious question to be tried, and the notice to quit for non-payment of rent did not overcome that basic problem.
