VPKY v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 1209

VPKY v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCA 1209

The extension of time was refused because the proposed appeal lacked sufficient merit. The primary judge did not err in holding that the Tribunal implicitly considered the consequence that the Applicant would not see her parents again, as that followed directly from findings the Tribunal accepted about her parents' age, health, dependence and emotional impact. The Tribunal's weighing of the protection of the Australian community, community expectations, family impact, ties to Australia and impediments on removal had a clear, intelligible justification and was not legally unreasonable.
