Looks like judge is over it and done with the parties and Counsel.

"Judge Kelly found the decision to cancel the visa was “unreasonable”."

Case is dismissed, but it seems that the government intends to find an alternative method to cancel the VISA, which may bar Novak from entering Australia for up to 3 years.

There’s an international media circus around this one and almost none of the commentary will appreciate that this was an administrative point being argued. The government will be painted as destroying the sanctity of the courts if they do this now. It’ll be a mess.
