AZJ20 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 978

AZJ20 v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 978

The appellant did not identify any factual findings unsupported by evidence or any claim not dealt with by the Authority. The Authority gave reasons for its adverse credibility findings, considered the appellant's claims and relevant country information, and its conclusions were open on the evidence and not legally unreasonable, illogical or irrational. The Authority was not required to articulate return arrangements to Bangladesh. Accordingly, no appellable error by the primary judge was shown and the appeal was dismissed.
