MZAMU v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1046

MZAMU v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection [2016] FCA 1046

The Tribunal was aware of and considered the appellant's submission regarding exacerbated vulnerability as a divorced Shia woman; while its reasons did not separately address the exacerbation issue, its cumulative assessment encapsulated the combined claims. There is no basis for inferring the Tribunal ignored the submission, and the factual allegation underpinning the appellant's challenge was not made good. The appeal must be dismissed.
