SZHQR v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2006] FCA 634

No error on the part of either Tribunal or Federal Magistrates Court was demonstrated, and no sufficient grounds for extension of time were provided. Raising a new basis for persecution (Roman Catholicism) did not justify extension, as it was not previously before the Tribunal or Magistrate.
