The Court quashed the AAT's decision affirming refusal of a protection visa, finding jurisdictional error on the ground of illogical and irrational reasoning regarding relocation to Kohat. The Tribunal's finding that the applicant's family profile would not be known beyond their village and nearby districts was internally inconsistent with its finding that the applicant could access 'considerable support' through family and tribal networks in Kohat for accommodation, friendships and introductions. The Court rejected Ground 1 (failure to consider education and limited employment submissions), holding those objections were subsumed in the Tribunal's broader findings of greater generality about employment prospects and available facilities, consistent with the principle that minute examination of every objection is not required provided the decision-maker brings the applicant's objections to bear on the reasonableness assessment.
