White Australia had sought a temporary injunction from the High Court to block its designation as a prohibited hate group while it challenges the law. Chief Justice Stephen Gageler found that compelling grounds had not been shown for the injunction and determined that the relief sought would not remove or ameliorate the prejudice White Australia claims. He also found that an injunction would do little to help the group. White Australia argued it would suffer 'irrevocable and irreparable' harm if the laws were allowed to stand unchallenged, claiming the laws will render it extinct. The party has also been seeking to register as a political party. According to gdelt, there was a 'real and substantial' risk the White Australia Party's incorporation in Victoria could be cancelled after a decision by the state's registrar of corporations. Anti-hate laws were passed after the Bondi Beach terror attack, according to gdelt.
