The full federal court has allowed Alan Tudge’s appeal against a judgment that while acting immigration minister he “engaged in conduct which can only be described as criminal”.
In a joint decision three justices rejected controversial findings that Tudge personally had unlawfully deprived a person of his liberty by leaving him in detention for five days, instead attributing the failures to the home affairs department.
In March 2020 the Administrative Appeals Tribunal granted a safe haven enterprise visa to an asylum seeker, a 34-year-old citizen of Afghanistan of Hazara ethnicity referred to as PDWL.
