ALF21 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1828

ALF21 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2019] FCA 1828

The appeal is dismissed because the Authority's reasoning as a whole demonstrates consideration of both the appellant's explanation for late submission and the credibility and nature of new information as required under s 473DD. The Authority was not required to expressly refer to s 473DD(b)(ii) or every item of evidence, and there was no error in either the original review or the Federal Circuit Court's dismissal.
