Martin - I can see no evidence of party politics in the judgment. What you seem to be suggesting is that the executive should not be held to accounts by the Courts, only the electorate or (presumably) by parliament.

I would take very strong issue with that stance. The test for JR is a high one. At the same time, individuals can place little to no reliance on parliament or the overall electorate if they are affected by government actions in a way that does not affect the majority. The courts are an important part of the overall system of accountability.
