Fathima v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 441

Fathima v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 441

No reviewable error was made by the Tribunal in not referring expressly to the ASQA printout or in its reasoning, as the Tribunal focused on the completion of courses since November 2015 and the evidential basis for its findings. The Tribunal's approach was rational and did not amount to a failure to consider significant or critical material, nor did it deny procedural fairness.
