ANT18 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2020] FCA 292

The Authority found that there was no real risk the appellant would suffer significant harm in Kabul based on any of the claimed bases; therefore, Australia did not owe him protection obligations and it was unnecessary for the Authority to consider section 36(2B)(b). There was no jurisdictional error and no appellable error in the Federal Circuit Court judge's decision.
