Franklin v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 643

Franklin v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs [2022] FCA 643

No jurisdictional error was demonstrated. The Tribunal gave an evident and intelligible justification for affirming the non-revocation decision, and it was reasonably and rationally open to give greater weight to protection of the Australian community and expectations of the Australian community than to countervailing considerations. The Tribunal considered the applicant's significant submissions and evidence, including his health, medication, family, residence, community ties, lack of family in New Zealand, and abstinence in detention, and the applicant did not establish that any medical or psychological condition deprived him of a meaningful opportunity to present his case.
