Yes the high court can declare a law to be invalid only after fair trial and the reasoning behind such a move is that the decree is unconstitutional to Australia. The best example of this case of Tasmania v The Commonwealth, better known as the Tasmanian Dams Case. In this case the Commonwealth implemented legislation preventing the construction of the Franklin Dam. Tasmania contested this law in the High Court saying that it was unconstitutional. It was ruled that the law was valid under the constitution (section 51), so change was not enforced by the court. Such examples demonstrate a process like the one asked about in the above asked question.
