JurisdictionAustralia
CourtHigh Court of Australia
Year2012
StatusBinding authority

Key Principle

A regulation (Public Interest Criterion 4002) that made the absence of an adverse ASIO security assessment a criterion for a protection visa was invalid as inconsistent with the protection-visa scheme of the Migration Act 1958, but the Act otherwise authorised the detention of an unlawful non-citizen pending removal, with the indefinite-detention question governed by Al-Kateb v Godwin.
