This provision is almost miraculous in the way it is worded for us.
You can read the full details in the last part of this post but I'll copy them here. You also have to understand that this doesn't apply to all laws in Australia, it's pointed very tightly at the laws we're suing over. Go through the points one by one and decide if we tick the boxes. My favorite is section 5(c): I'd love to hear a counter argument from the other side on that one!
No adverse costs orders
(3) A person who brings an action under subsection (1) in relation to a contravention of a provision of Part IV may at any time during proceedings on the matter seek an order under subsection (4) from the court hearing, or that will hear, the matter.
(4) The court may order that the applicant is not liable for the costs of any respondent to the proceedings, regardless of the outcome or likely outcome of the proceedings.
(5) The court may only make an order under subsection (4) if the court is satisfied that:
(a) the action raises a reasonable issue for trial; and
(b) the action raises an issue that is not only significant for the applicant, but may also be significant for other persons or groups of persons; and
(c) the disparity between the financial position of the applicant and the financial position of the respondent or respondents is such that the possibility of a costs order that does not favour the applicant might deter the applicant from pursuing the action.
(6) The court may satisfy itself of the matters in subsection (5) by having regard only to the documents filed with the court in the proceedings.
(7) A person who appeals a decision of the court under subsection (4) is liable for any costs in relation to the appeal.
