REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

THE COURT

1                     Today the Court published its reasons for judgment in SVMB v Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2005] FCAFC 86. The applicant in this matter is the husband of the applicant in SVMB. Counsel for the parties in this matter accepted that the circumstances of this proceeding are indistinguishable from those in SVNB. Consequently the Court will make the same orders in this application as it did in SVMB for the reasons set out in that judgment.

I certify that the preceding one (1) numbered paragraph is a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justices Marshall, Mansfield and Stone.
