REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

(REVISED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT)

1                     This matter was called outside the Court when listed for hearing this morning. The applicant has not appeared. In an affidavit of Sharon Anne Burnett sworn 3 July 2006, she deposes that the applicant left Australia on 7 June 2006 and as at 22 June 2006, the records of the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs do not reveal that the applicant has returned to Australia.

2                     Pursuant to my powers under s 25(2)B(bb)(ii) of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth), I order that the application for leave to appeal be dismissed with costs fixed in the sum of $800.


I certify that the preceding two (2) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment herein of the Honourable Justice Rares.
