Despite this, significant developments made in Australian administrative law since <em>Osmond</em> was decided may in fact cause major difficulties to a rule that has survived the past 30 years largely unscathed. This paper demonstrates that although the emergence of <em>Li</em> unreasonableness is unlikely to give rise to a common law duty to provide reasons, the principles of natural justice provide a solid doctrinal foundation for the High Court to reconsider the position expressed in <em>Osmond</em>.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Victoria University Law and Justice Journal}, author={Noonan Charles}, year={2018}, month={Dec.}, pages={45–54} }
