Giri v Roads and Maritime Services [2012] NSWADT 241

Given the seriousness of the applicant's past offence (murder), the relatively short time since his release into the community, his current serving of a sentence on parole, and lack of sufficient evidence of rehabilitation and low risk in the community, the tribunal cannot attest that the applicant is, at the current time, of good repute and a fit and proper person to be authorised to drive a taxi.
