EHA18 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1954

The arguments concerning persecution by Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq did not constitute substantial clearly articulated claims based on established facts and therefore the Immigration Assessment Authority was not required to address them. The application for judicial review was properly dismissed, and the appeal fails.
