BZB16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1253

BZB16 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2019] FCA 1253

The appellant did not make an independent claim of holding an adverse political opinion against the Awami League. The Tribunal considered all articulated claims and found the appellant's evidence not credible. There was no procedural unfairness or jurisdictional error, and knowledge of the s 438 certificate would not have altered the Tribunal's outcome.
