GREENWOOD J: 1 This appeal from orders of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia dismissing the appellant's application before that Court for judicial review (and the grant of the constitutional writs) of a decision of the Immigration Assessment Authority (the "IAA") affirming a decision of the Minister's delegate to refuse the appellant's application for the grant of a Safe Haven visa, was heard together with appeals by appellants BJI17, CVQ17 and BYG17. The orders made in this appeal are that the appeal is dismissed and the appellant pay the first respondent's costs of and incidental to the appeal. The reasons which explain the basis for making those orders are set out in the reasons for judgment of Greenwood J (McKerracher and Burley JJ agreeing) in BJI17 v Minister for Home Affairs [2020] FCAFC 58. The reasons in this appeal are to be read together with the reasons in appeal BJI17 which address the contentions on appeal by each of appellants BJI17, CNV17, CVQ17 and BYG17 (both as to matters specific to each appellant and as to matters of principle submitted on behalf of all four appellants). I certify that the preceding one (1) numbered paragraph is a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Greenwood.
