NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY N 1104 OF 2000
BETWEEN: ANDREI PERCHINE
APPLICANT
AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS
RESPONDENT
JUDGE: MATHEWS J
DATE: 27 FEBRUARY 2001
PLACE: SYDNEY
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT
1 The applicant seeks review of a decision of the Refugee Review Tribunal ("the Tribunal") made on 26 September 2000, which affirmed a decision of the respondent's delegate not to grant him a protection visa.
2 Under s 36(2) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth), a criterion for the grant of a protection visa is that the applicant be a non-citizen in Australia to whom Australia has protection obligations under the Refugees Convention, as amended by the Refugees Protocol (known compendiously as "the Convention").In order for Australia to have protection obligations to the applicant, it must be established that he is a person who, "owing to a well founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country". The applicant says that he has a well founded fear of persecution in his country of nationality, Russia, on the ground of his political opinion.
