As previously indicated to the Deputy, the determination in question has given rise to some legal and other issues which are being considered in full by this Department.

The Department is continuing to receive legal advice in the matter, and a decision will be made as to the proper course of action in due course. Once this decision has been made the applicant will be notified as a matter of priority.

I would point out to the Deputy that since my Department is taking legal advice, the subject matter of the question is now in the realm of legal professional privilege.
