The applicant failed to comply with statutory requirements to regularise his immigration status or to lodge timely appeals; INZ and the immigration officer considered his personal circumstances under s177; the absolute discretions in ss61 and 177 and the statutory scheme, plus absence of irrationality or unlawful breach of NZBORA or international obligations, meant destitution and incarceration did not constitute special reasons to cancel the deportation order; application dismissed.
