By reason of the constitutional prohibitions of conferring non-judicial power on a court and of conferring both judicial and non-judicial power on the same body (whether a court or a non-court), the federal Parliament could not create such a body. Again, just as in such systems bodies called ‘courts’ may function as tribunals, so bodies called ‘tribunals’ may be courts.
