YKSB v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCAFC 224

YKSB v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCAFC 224

The Tribunal gave sufficient consideration to the applicant's physical health within the overall assessment of risk to the Australian community. The representation on health was not articulated as a separate, substantial argument dispositive of the cancellation outcome, and the Tribunal referred to, and considered, the entirety of the evidence including age and health. There was no jurisdictional error, and the primary judge did not err in determining that the Tribunal's consideration met the required standard.
