Acting immigration minister Alan Tudge engaged in 'criminal' conduct when he ignored a tribunal decision and left an asylum seeker in detention for five days, a judge has found.
Acting immigration minister Alan Tudge engaged in"criminal" conduct when he ignored a tribunal decision and left an asylum seeker in detention for five days, a judge has found.
The legal fight centres on a tribunal decision to grant a 34-year-old Afghan man a protection visa despite having a criminal record. The federal court found the minister had deprived the 34-year-old Afghan man of his liberty through his continued detention, describing the minister's conduct as “disgraceful” and “without lawful authority”.
Despite the decision, the asylum seeker was not released from Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Centre in Western Australia.
