5 October 2012 - M47 High court decision

The Government notes the decision of the High Court of Australia handed down today in the M47 v the Director-General of Security & Ors matter. This case involved a challenge to ASIO in respect of a person who has been assessed to be a refugee, but has not been granted a permanent visa as a result of an ASIO adverse security assessment (ASA), the lawfulness of his ongoing immigration detention and the lawfulness of any future removal to a safe third country. The Government is carefully reviewing the reasoning of the High Court to determine the implications of the decision including for the implementation of that review process.
