WZANN v Minister for Immigration and Anor (No.2)

The applicant, WZANN, challenged the decision of the Minister for Immigration, the first respondent, to cancel his visa and order his deportation. The case was heard in the Federal Court of Australia. The applicant, who had arrived in Australia on a student visa, was found to have engaged in conduct that was contrary to the character test for visa holders. This led to the Minister cancelling his visa and ordering his removal from Australia. The applicant sought judicial review of the Minister's decision.

Specifically, the court had to determine whether the Minister correctly interpreted and applied the character test for visa holders and whether the decision was supported by the evidence.

The court found that the Minister's decision was lawful and correctly based on the evidence and the character test for visa holders. The court held that the Minister was entitled to consider the applicant's conduct and the impact it had on the Australian community. The court also found that the Minister's decision was not Wednesbury unreasonable and was supported by the evidence. The application for judicial review was dismissed, and the applicant was ordered to pay the Minister's costs.
