A person who is not the subject of enforcement action by SPER and whose rights or interests are not affected by the relevant decision is not a 'person aggrieved' under s 20(1) of the Judicial Review Act 1991 (Qld) and lacks standing to seek judicial review. Arguments based on papal authority, the 'living man versus living woman' distinction, or the Queen's alleged derivation of authority from the Holy See have no legal foundation in Australian law. The Judicial Review Act 1991 (Qld) contemplates summary dismissal of applications without trial in appropriate circumstances, and giving short shrift to submissions of no legal merit does not constitute a denial of procedural fairness.
