No serious question to be tried was established: National Party rules comply with s71 by providing participatory member/delegate selection and permitting a democratically elected Board to vet nominations; r94(b) does not create a justiciable breach of natural justice or contract because the rule expressly permits unfettered discretion and no obligation to give reasons or interview, and failure to timely supply rules to the Electoral Commission under s71B does not invalidate the rules; accordingly the interim injunction was rescinded.
