ARV17 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 426

The Authority's reasons, read as a whole, demonstrate that it actively engaged with and made dispositive findings on the appellant's claims, including those relating to detention for tattoos and alleged orchestration by his former father-in-law; any alleged omission was not material to the outcome given the Authority's credibility findings and reliance on country information, and accordingly the appeal must be dismissed.
