I'm sorry you're having to deal with this on top of everything else. Did the exchanges between you about he would do it but it would take a long time and then saying he couldn't do it at all occur in writing? If so I would think that would weigh in your favor especially if the timing between the two was fairly close together.

I don't normally encourage this but if he were to play the paraplegic card, play the cancer card. You're still dealing with it and it wasn't anything you did that caused it to happen.

I'm not familiar with the legal options in Australia so I can't offer a lot of advice but I wish you the best of luck and hope you can get your money back.
