ASM21 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 300

No appealable error was identified in the decision of the primary judge. The appeal ground was too general and unsupported. The Authority's decision was properly considered, and procedural fairness was provided to the appellant. The 2021 decision of the Authority was not affected by jurisdictional error, and the primary judge did not err in upholding that decision.
