REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
(revised from transcript)
HIS HONOUR:
1 In this matter the applicant seeks the form of judicial review available in this Court in respect of an adverse decision by the Migration Review Tribunal, affirming the decision of a delegate of the respondent Minister refusing him the grant of a “student (temporary) (class TU) visa”. The applicant has not appeared upon the matter being called for hearing and efforts by my Associate to contact him, on two telephone numbers that he has provided in connection with his application to the court and otherwise, have been unsuccessful.
2 On the face of it, the submissions filed by counsel for the respondent Minister appear compelling and I see no reason not to invoke the Court’s powers under O 32 r 2(1)(c) of the Federal Court Rules, as the respondent asks that I do. Accordingly, I dismiss the application with costs.
