O'Sullivan v Noarlunga Meat Ltd (No 2) (1956) 94 CLR 367 was a High Court of Australia case, in which a certificate, under s 74 of the Australian Constitution, was sought for leave to appeal to the Privy Council against the previous decision of O'Sullivan v Noarlunga Meat Ltd.
In the preceding case, it was held that the Commonwealth's extensive regulations regarding premises used for the slaughtering of livestock for export were valid under s 51(i) of the Constitution. It was argued in this case that it was a necessary consequence of the decision that all production, regardless of whether it was intended for home or foreign consumption, would be regulated.
Dixon CJ, Williams, Webb and Fullagar JJ wrote a joint judgment denying the certificate of appeal, and reaffirmed the limitations to the power expressed by Fullagar J in the preceding case. Kitto J concurred.
Famous quotes containing the word meat:
“It is not true that there is dignity in all work. Some jobs are definitely better than others.... People who have good jobs are happy, rich, and well dressed. People who have bad jobs are unhappy, poor and use meat extenders. Those who seek dignity in the type of work that compels them to help hamburgers are certain to be disappointed.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
