15 It is suggested that this ground of review can be justified-and even then some–what dubiously—only if the circumstances referred to in the Administrative Decisions (Judicial Review) Act 1977 (Cth) s. 5(3) are established. That sub–section provides that the “no evidence” ground is only to be made out where:
(a) the person who made the decision was required by law to reach that decision only if a particular matter was established, and there was no evidence or other material (including facts of which he was entitled to take notice) from which he could reasonably be satisfied that the matter was established; or
(b) the person who made the decision based the decision on the existence of a partic1Ilar fact, and that fact did not exist.

61 This is not to say that ouster clauses will not be by-passed if a court considers that an error goes to jurisdiction. For example, while not referring to the Anisminic case, the South Australian Full Court held that the Industrial Commission had exceeded its jurisdiction in failing to take account of a relevant consideration when declining jurisdiction: R. v. Industrial Commission of South Australia; ex parte Minda Home Incorporated (1975) 11 S.A.S.R. 333. See also Ex parte Wurth; Re Tully (1954) 55 S.R. (N.S.W.) 47.
