CDA19 v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 479

The Tribunal did not err in performing its statutory task, as the alleged integer of a claim based on perceived association with the Christian State separatist movement was not raised clearly enough to require separate consideration, and the material about increased scrutiny due to Christian State activity was subsumed under the Tribunal's general findings regarding the appellant's religious and political associations.
