Tran v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 509

Tran v Minister for Immigration & Multicultural & Indigenous Affairs [2004] FCA 509

The Tribunal did not commit jurisdictional error. Although it did not use the word "unacceptable", it sufficiently addressed the risk the applicant posed to the community, including recidivism, seriousness of the violent offence and the absence of complete confidence that similar disproportionate violence would not recur. The Tribunal was aware of the applicant's remorse and adequately addressed the hardship to, and relationship with, his mother; the weight given to those matters was for the Tribunal.
