I think we're getting pretty close to questions such as: 'Could someone begin an administrative law action on Tuesday between the hours of 2 pm and 3 pm? Could they file that proceeding in the Bendigo court, the Wodonga court or the Melbourne court?' I've already made clear that there is no duty of the kind that you are asserting would be needed for those types of legal actions. So every question as to this kind of action or that kind of action, or this kind of applicant or that kind of applicant, or Tuesday 2 pm or Thursday 4 pm, just makes no sense because there is no duty.
