Mills, in an unpublished paper entitled 'Limiting the Objects Powers of a Trade Union By Law', presents a very plausible argument, which is referred to in Smith and Rawson. Basically it is that it was never intended to confer corporate status on federal unions and that in fact this occurred through a misconceived reading of the legislation in Jumbunna (see R.C. Smith and D. Rawson, Trade Union Law: The Legal Status of Australian Trade Unions, second edition, Butterworths, 1985 at 54-5 and 57).
