The NSC Act 2016 is in pith and substance a national security/anti-subversion law and therefore ought to have been enacted pursuant to Article 149 of the Federal Constitution; because it was not so enacted the NSC Act 2016 is unconstitutional and void in its entirety; the Federal Court was obliged to hear the special case transmitted under ss84–85 CJA 1964 and the appellant had standing to bring the public interest constitutional challenge.
