    Application dismissed because detention under s.32(3) IO remained lawful and reasonable: Director and Secretary demonstrated intent to deport and acted with reasonable diligence to obtain travel documents and effect removal; applicant's repeated refusal to cooperate and his criminal and absconding history created a real risk of absconding/reoffending such that continued detention was necessary and reasonable under Hardial Singh and s.32(4A).
