Dayananda v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1050

Dayananda v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 1050

The application was dismissed because none of the review grounds established jurisdictional error. The Tribunal considered the sentencing remarks and Direction No 90 in assessing the offending as very serious, gave coherent reasons for its assessment of reoffending risk and remorse despite accepting a low risk of reoffending, correctly treated community expectations under Direction No 90 as deemed rather than evidentiary, and no error was apparent in its consideration of rehabilitation or other considerations.
