I suspect the Leader of the Opposition knows what's coming, because when this bloke was the Minister for Home Affairs, for example, the tribunal decided that an Iranian heroin dealer and ice manufacturer, known as YKZZ, should be allowed to stay. The tribunal cited direction 79 and the higher level of tolerance as an important reason. During the same period, the tribunal decided a Brazilian man found guilty of armed robbery and assault, and the subject of an AVO sought by his girlfriend, should have his visa restored. This decision in 2018 cited the higher level of tolerance in direction 65 of this minister. In another ruling, the tribunal sided with a Nigerian heroin dealer, known as HMDS
