The drawing of an inference is 'an exercise of the ordinary powers of human reason in the light of human experience': G v H [1994] HCA 48; (1994) 181 CLR 387, 390. In Morgan v Babcock & Wilcox Ltd [1929] HCA 25; (1929) 43 CLR 163, 173, Knox CJ and Dixon J said that the matter 'must inevitably be judged by considering whether general human experience would be contradicted, if the proved facts were unaccompanied by the fact sought to be proved'; see also Martin v Osborne [1936] HCA 23; (1936) 55 CLR 367, 385; Jones v Sutherland Shire Council [1979] 2 NSWLR 206, 222 - 227. In Martin v Osborne, Evatt J said that in the 'ordered processes of logical thought ... regard must be had to every hypothesis which can compete with the hypothesis suggested by experience and knowledge of human affairs' (381). His Honour observed that in that case the course of argument 'laid bare the paucity both in number and quality of the hypotheses which might be advanced' as alternative explanations for the hypothesis suggested by experience and knowledge of human affairs in that case.
