The Court held that s.23 Class 3 offence is a prescribed, legitimate and proportionate restriction on freedom of expression: it is rationally connected to preventing chaos and interference in spectrum use and is no more than necessary given the mens rea requirements and limited maximum fine; therefore the Chief Magistrate did not err in finding s.23 constitutional.
