Leau and Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs (Migration)

The Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) considered the application of Mr. Leau, whose visa had been cancelled under section 501 of the *Migration Act 1958* (Cth) due to failing the character test. The matter was before the Tribunal for re-determination following a remittal from the Federal Court. The central dispute was whether there was "another reason" why the cancellation of Mr. Leau's visa should be revoked, despite him not satisfying the character test.

The Tribunal was required to determine whether the cancellation of Mr. Leau's visa should be revoked. In making this determination, the Tribunal had to consider the provisions of Direction 90, which sets out the considerations for revoking a visa cancellation under section 501(3)(b) of the Act. This involved assessing the primary considerations and other considerations relevant to Mr. Leau's circumstances.

In its reasoning, the Tribunal carefully assessed Mr. Leau's background and criminal history. It weighed the various factors presented, applying the principles outlined in Direction 90. After considering all relevant material, the Tribunal concluded that there was no other reason to revoke the cancellation of Mr. Leau's visa. Consequently, the decision under review, which affirmed the visa cancellation, was upheld.
