TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS

AT CANBERRA ON THURSDAY, 6 OCTOBER 2005, AT 9.28 AM

Copyright in the High Court of Australia

HAYNE J:   The applicant is a citizen of Bangladesh.  A delegate of the respondent refused to grant him a protection visa.  He then failed to satisfy the Refugee Review Tribunal that Australia owed him any protection obligations. Both the Federal Magistrate and the Federal Court to which he appealed could not detect any jurisdictional or like error on the part of the Refugee Review Tribunal in reaching the decision that it did, and nor can we.  There is no reason to doubt the correctness therefore of the decision of the Federal Court and accordingly the application for special leave to appeal to this Court must be dismissed. 

Because the applicant is unrepresented, the application falls to be dealt with in accordance with rule 41.10 of the High Court Rules 2004. Pursuant to rule 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application. I publish that disposition.

AT 9.29 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
