ABT16 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 836

ABT16 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 836

The appeal was dismissed because, although the Tribunal's reasoning contained illogical or irrational aspects, no jurisdictional error was established as the applicants failed to advance evidence or claims that would make these aspects material to the result. The responsibility under s 5AAA(2) rests on the visa applicant to raise and substantiate such claims, and the Tribunal was not obliged to consider hypotheses not raised or supported by evidence.
