Ripley v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 93

Ripley v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FCA 93

The Tribunal did not fail to consider the applicant's representation that he had lived in Australia since the age of two and regarded Australia as his home. The substance of that representation was referred to repeatedly in the Tribunal's reasons and was considered in relation to the strength, nature and duration of the applicant's ties to Australia, including under para 9.4.1(2) of Direction No 90. The Tribunal was not required to repeat that consideration under the expectations of the Australian community heading, and para 5.2(4) of Direction No 90 was a guiding principle expressed in permissive terms rather than a mandatory relevant consideration. No reviewable error was established.
