SZQVH v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship [2012] FCA 1147
The Tribunal did not err in considering or failing to consider the material at the web-link, as it was irrelevant to the appellant’s claim of persecution based on political opinion; the Tribunal’s reasoning was focused on the absence of relevant evidence (court documents) about the road dispute and the material provided did not support the appellant’s case. Accordingly, the Federal Magistrate was correct in affirming the Tribunal's decision.
