He is currently in Bangalore, India, and wishes to return to Australia but is prevented by the ban, his lawyer Christopher Ward SC told the court at an urgent hearing before Justice Stephen Burley on Wednesday afternoon.
Mr Ward said the ban is being challenged on four bases, two of them relating to how the courts interpret legislation, one about questions of proportionality, and the fourth a constitutional argument.The law banning anyone who has been in India in the past 14 days from entering Australia came into force on Monday and will be reviewed on May 15.

What on earth is someone doing in India with COVID happening? They had the opportunity to return home but didn’t, cricketers went to India for the money . Well suck it up folks ......

Good on him! Hope he rips right into these clowns who show no respect to our nationals!
Good
he can try.
Knew the risk - no sympathy
Timely solution - allow flights from India, given one local Cooties case in the wild today in Sydney Gladys decrees flying people in is overly risky & all flights from India must land in WA, QLD & VIC. People demanding returns suddenly fall silent
I hope he looses the appeal
Good

India travel ban lands in court as stranded Australian launches legal actionAustralia's India travel ban is headed to court after an Australian citizen launched legal action in the federal court challenging its validity on constitutional grounds. It should. This is an absurd ban.

Scotty does not have Australians backs and he believes we should feel privileged to be an Australian under his command.
