The application is dismissed because the Director satisfied the Hardial Singh criteria: detention was solely for removal, the period (about 85 days) was reasonable in all circumstances, deportation remained feasible within a reasonable time due to consular cooperation and a arranged flight, and the Director acted with reasonable diligence; the applicant's refusal to co-operate and real risk of abscondence/re-offending justified continued detention.
