Nystrom v Minister for Immigration
Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs v Nystrom (2006) 228 CLR 566; [2006] HCA 50
Key Principle
The holding of an 'absorbed person visa' (and a transitional permanent visa) by a long-term resident does not immunise that person from cancellation of a visa under s 501 of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) on character grounds; the general visa-cancellation power and the absorbed-person-visa provisions operate concurrently rather than the latter impliedly limiting the former.
