Nolutshungu v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 684

Nolutshungu v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 684

The application for judicial review is dismissed because none of the grounds asserted jurisdictional error or procedural unfairness on the Tribunal's part. Matters of weight and factual determination were within the Tribunal's remit, allegations of error and bias were not particularised or supported by evidence, and submissions largely sought merits review, which is not the role of this Court.
