Tuiseke (Migration)

This matter concerned an application for review of a decision concerning a Subclass 600 (Visitor) visa. The applicant, Tuiseke, sought review of a decision made by the Department of Home Affairs.

The primary legal issue before the Tribunal was whether it had jurisdiction to hear the application for review. This question turned on whether the prescribed fee for the application for review had been paid.

The Tribunal found that the prescribed fee had not been paid, and no determination had been made or requested for a reduction of that fee. Consequently, the Tribunal concluded that the application for review was not a valid application, and therefore, the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to proceed with the matter.

The Tribunal ordered that it did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
