The story was written after a private conversation I had with the Minister. He said anyone who pursued an issue using section 232 could refer to the Second Reading of the Bill where the intention of the law is spelled out in detail. It’s that intention that is critical in pleading a case at NCAT.
And no, I don’t know of any cases where this has been employed but I’d like to hear if anyone has had any success (or failure) going down this route.
