The Applicant's detention remains lawful because removal was and is being actively pursued, practical impediments were resolved (travel document issued), the most recent failure to effect removal resulted from the Applicant's deliberate resistance to boarding (a tactical maneuver to delay deportation), and the risk of absconding together with absence of other circumstances favouring release outweighs the Applicant's offers and assurances; therefore the detention period is reasonable under s32(4A) and relevant authorities (Harjang Singh and Johnson Benjamin).
