Minister for Home Affairs v EWP17 [2019] FCA 205

Reading the Authority's reasons as a whole, and particularly paragraph 52 in light of paragraph 51, the Authority was seized of and addressed the respondent's claim that involuntary return facilitated by the Australian and Iranian governments would expose him to scrutiny by Iranian officials. The claim was rejected on material that reasonably admitted of that rejection, so the jurisdictional error found by the Federal Circuit Court was not established.
