XRZG v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2023] FCA 783

None of the grounds of review were established; the Tribunal's reasoning (even if not always clearly articulated) was rational and materially supported. The Tribunal did not apply an impossible evidentiary standard, did not irrationally weigh evidence, its findings had a logical basis, critical contentions were addressed, and there was no jurisdictional error justifying intervention.
