Do you think Australia’s immigration legislation can produce outcomes that are brutal, harsh and unfair?

If you are not persuaded yet, or even if I am “preaching to the choir”, check this one out, a decision of the Full Court of the Federal Court handed down today, 25 June 2019, Russell v Minister for Home Affairs (2019) FCAFC 110.

The case involved an application for judicial review of a decision of the AAT that it did not have jurisdiction to hear an application for merits review of a decision not to revoke the cancellation of a visa held by a citizen of New Zealand.

The AAT has released its most recent Bulletin, dated 24 June 2019.  Citizenship decisions are on page 4, and migration decisions are on page 5.
