AOG17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2018] FCA 1088

Leave to raise the proposed new grounds and leave to appeal were refused because the grounds lacked sufficient merit. The Tribunal's treatment of the documentary evidence and adverse credibility findings were open on the material before it; the asserted extortion and complementary protection matters were either considered or not sufficiently raised as separate claims; and no breach of s 424AA or s 424A of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) was shown.
