McHUGH J:   The applicant is the son of the applicant in the matter, VPAX and VPAY v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, Matter No M7/2005.  The grounds of appeal raised by the present applicant before this Court are the same as those raised by applicant‑mother, and rest on the same factual evidence presented to the Tribunal.  Consequently, the application for Special Leave to Appeal to this Court must be dismissed for the reasons set out in our decision in VPAX and VPAY v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs.

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 9.34 AM THE MATTER WAS CONCLUDED
