AXT19 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1423

AXT19 v Minister for Home Affairs [2019] FCA 1423

The Tribunal did not err in declining to consider in detail the applicant's non-refoulement claims at the s 501CA(4) stage because the legislative and departmental scheme allows the applicant a further avenue to have non-refoulement obligations assessed in the context of a protection visa application. Accordingly, there was no jurisdictional error and the application must be dismissed.
