The Minister sought judicial review of an Immigration Division decision releasing the respondent from immigration detention on conditions.
The respondent, who had a significant criminal record and a history of non-compliance, was ordered to reside at a halfway house and be supervised by three bondspersons.
The Minister argued the conditions were insufficient to mitigate flight risk and danger to the public, particularly challenging the suitability of the bondspersons, the lack of a current psychological assessment, and the upcoming end of the respondent's criminal sentence.
The Federal Court found the Immigration Division's decision reasonable, noting it had properly balanced the risk factors and imposed conditions as stringent as a prior release plan.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
