- High Court
The officer's decision to refuse entry and impose turnaround was lawful and reasonable: the officer was not required to afford independent, paramount consideration to the children's best interests because they were dependent visa holders; statutory provisions permit determination on the information provided without a duty to seek further material; there was no evidence a lawyer was requested during the interviews nor of bias or deception by the officer.
