Department of Child Safety and Herd

In the matter of *Department of Child Safety and Herd*, heard by Jordan J, the application filed on 6 August 2008 was dismissed. The court also discharged paragraphs 1, 2, 4, and 5 of its previous orders made on 7 August 2008.

The court was required to determine whether to dismiss the application and discharge certain prior orders. Additionally, the court considered requests and directions concerning the removal of individuals' names from the PACE alert system and the return of passports.

The reasoning and legal principles applied by the court are not explicitly detailed in the provided text. However, the orders indicate a resolution of the dispute, leading to the dismissal of the application and the discharge of previous orders.

The final outcome involved the dismissal of the application, the discharge of specific prior orders, a request for the Australian Federal Police to remove the names of the mother and her children from the PACE alert system at international departure points, and a direction for the return of the mother's and children's passports, held by the Family Court, to the mother.
