Copyright in the High Court of Australia

McHUGH J:   The applicant’s wife and daughter, and son, have lodged applications for Special Leave to Appeal to this Court.  Those matters are VPAX and VPAY v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs and VPAW v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, respectively.  This application raises no questions of law or fact materially different to those contained in M7/2005.  For the reasons set out in our decision in VPAX and VPAY v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, the application must be refused.

The application for special leave is dismissed.

Pursuant to rule 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing this application.  I publish our joint reasons.

AT 9.33 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
