NRWQ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCAFC 101

NRWQ v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCAFC 101

The primary judge did not find that the Tribunal made a legal error in failing to address the appellant's representation about his children in the context of re-offending risk; alternatively, any error was immaterial as the Tribunal accepted the applicant posed only a low risk and held the seriousness of the offending was such that even a low risk was not acceptable, so no different outcome could have resulted.
