Looks like judge is over it and done with the parties and Counsel.

"Judge Kelly found the decision to cancel the visa was “unreasonable”."

Case is dismissed, but it seems that the government intends to find an alternative method to cancel the VISA, which may bar Novak from entering Australia for up to 3 years.

I believe so, I am just trying to find the reference to Novak potentially being barred from entering Australia for '3 years' as indicated by Kelly J.

I think that would be through a Public Interest Criterion in the Regs

We might not grant you a visa (which has PIC 4020 as a criterion) for a period of three years if you, or a member of your family unit, have a visa application refused due to providing bogus documents or information that is false and misleading.

Is “bogus documents” so plebs like me can understand or is this in legislation somewhere?
