ABA20 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 544
The Tribunal's adverse credibility findings were open on the evidence and did not lack foundation, rationality, or logical coherence. The Tribunal had real and meaningful engagement with all material including the email claimed to corroborate the conversion. The appeal to legal unreasonableness failed as it was, in substance, a merits review invitation. No jurisdictional error was established.
