Shin v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 35

Shin v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 35

The Tribunal did not err or take an irrelevant consideration into account by referring to the appellant's contingent plan to work as a minister if unable to undertake doctoral studies; such future intentions were relevant to assessing whether the appellant was a genuine temporary entrant under cl 500.212, and the statutory framework required consideration of all relevant circumstances. The ground of appeal failed and there was no jurisdictional error.
