APPLICANT

RESPONDENT
JUDGE: MADGWICK J

PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT (revised from transcript) HIS HONOUR: 1 The applicant is an adult citizen of the Russian Federation who has come to Australia with her twelve year old grandson. On 24 June 1997 she applied for a protection visa, which was refused by a delegate of the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs ("the Respondent"). She applied to the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") to challenge that decision, but on 9 December 1999 the Tribunal decided to affirm the delegate's decision. 2 The applicant was born in 1946. Her father's mother was of Chechen nationality within the former USSR, and her paternal grandfather was of the Tartar nationality. Her mother was of Ukrainian nationality. 3 The nub of one aspect of the applicant's claims, so far as one can relate them to the Convention, can be put, most favourably to her, in the following way: because some of her papers refer to her father's name it is likely on occasions to come to the attention of persons in authority in Russia that she is of Chechen descent and as a result she is likely to be discriminated against by the Russian authorities.
