Ahmad v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 1028

Ahmad v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 1028

The Tribunal's finding on the applicant's employment prospects in Lebanon was properly characterised as limited and was supported by evidence before the Tribunal. The Tribunal gave rational and sufficient consideration as required under the statutory framework, including Direction No. 79. The Tribunal's reasoning was logical, and the application did not establish jurisdictional error. The application was therefore dismissed.
