REASONS FOR JUDGMENT The applicant, who seeks an extension of time to appeal against a decision of the Federal Magistrates Court, came to Australia in March 2001 from Afghanistan without lawful authority. He applied for a protection class XA visa after his arrival in this country but that application was refused by a delegate of the Minister on 21 May 2001. He sought review of that decision in the Refugee Review Tribunal ('the Tribunal') and on 21 August 2001 the Tribunal affirmed the delegate's decision.
