REASONS FOR JUDGMENT 1 The applicant was the holder of a transitional (permanent) visa which was cancelled on 9 November 2005 on character grounds: s 501(2) of the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) ("the Act"). On 17 November 2005, the applicant applied to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal ("the Tribunal") under s 500(1)(b) for review of this decision. On 25 January 2006, the Tribunal affirmed the decision under review: see Pizlea and Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs [2006] AATA 49. On 23 February 2006, the applicant sought review in this Court of, amongst other decisions, the decision of the Tribunal. To the extent that the applicant seeks to challenge decisions other than the Tribunal's decision, the application is incompetent.
