NEW SOUTH WALES DISTRICT REGISTRY N 426 OF 2001

BETWEEN: FAIMUL FEROZA BUKSH

APPLICANT

AND: MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND MULTICULTURAL AFFAIRS

RESPONDENT

JUDGE: STONE J

DATE: 20 JUNE 2001

PLACE: SYDNEY

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The applicant, a citizen of Fiji, arrived in Australia on 6 January 2000. On 14 February 2000, she lodged an application for a protection visa under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) ("Act"). The application was refused by a delegate of the respondent on 28 February 2001 and that decision was upheld by the Refugee Review Tribunal ("Tribunal"). She applied to this Court for a review of the Tribunal's decision.

2 The application filed by the applicant on 17 April 2001 does not state why the applicant is aggrieved by the decision (although that can be inferred) nor does it set out the grounds of review or the orders sought. No submissions have been filed by the applicant. In the section of the application in which the name and address of the respondent are to be stated, the applicant has written "I want to meet the judge in person to explain my circumstances. Thank you."
