Senator Norris raised an apparently appalling situation yesterday regarding the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. He stated that a member of it had a 100% record in declining all cases that came before him or her. I would like the Leader to advise how that tribunal is constituted. Was that person allowed to sit alone in considering these cases and, if so, how many cases did he or she hear? This is extremely damaging to the supposed fairness of the system.
