SZRWS v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship,
Migrant Services & Multicultural Affairs (No 3) [2022]
FedCFamC2G 447; 369 FLR 167, overturned on
appeal on 30 May 2023 in Minister for Immigration,
Citizenship, Migrant Services & Multicultural Affairs v
SZRWS (2023) 297 FCR 589. [The first referenced case
found that the policy preventing consumables from
being received was invalid (hence the Dept allowing
consumables during our inspection), but this was
overturned by the Federal Court on 30 May 2023 and
special leave against that decision was refused].
