Melbourne court rules random police checks 'not lawful'.
"Magistrate Duncan Reynolds ruled "there is no common law power vested in police giving them the unfettered right to stop or detain a person and seek
identification details." Magistrate's ruling is consistent with DPP v Hamilton,
Supreme Court of Victoria 2011: Justice Kaye: "It is an ancient principle of the Common Law that a person not under arrest has no obligation to stop for police, or answer their questions. And there is no statute that removes that right."

Thank you Peter :-)
We have ppl here in Queensland who 'believe' that Common Law no longer exists, consequently, they delete the post instead of leaving for others to research and learn.
