AQR17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 901

AQR17 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2018] FCA 901

The IAA did consider the motivation for the appellant's relocation to Negombo and had before it the evidence from the 2013 statutory declaration; in any case, the material from the 2013 declaration was not relevantly different or more probative than the material already considered. Therefore, no jurisdictional error is established, and the appeal must be dismissed.
