Sections 59 and 59A of the Immigration Act 1959/63 are unconstitutional to the extent they exclude the right to be heard and exclude judicial review; no valid written law authorised the respondents to blacklist or impose the travel ban on a person holding a valid passport; the right to travel is protected as part of personal liberty under Article 5(1); accordingly the travel ban was unlawful and declarations and prohibition granted; ouster clauses cannot oust judicial power under Article 4(1).
