MXDK v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 1142

MXDK v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2021] FCA 1142

The applicant's bare and speculative representation regarding risk of homelessness and lack of family support in New Zealand was not sufficiently prominent or developed such that the Tribunal failed to consider it; the Tribunal was aware of and took into account the relevant submissions, and there was no jurisdictional error. Even if an error occurred, it was not material as there was no realistic possibility the outcome would have been different.
