“The Tribunal persistently misheard the applicant’s evidence that he had cooked rissoles, not risottos”

Here is what Justice Street had to say about the argument:

31. Having listened to the transcript and taking into account the material that has been admitted into evidence, the Court is satisfied that the applicant had a genuine and meaningful hearing. This was a case where there were a multitude of inconsistencies in relation to the applicant’s evidence, a large number of which the Tribunal made reference to. The error in relation to risotto was an error in finding of fact and one which was entirely understandable, given the applicant’s pronunciation of rissoles in the phonetic manner “rizolos”.

32.Indeed that pronunciation of “rizolos” was on one view entirely consistent with the applicant not having any understanding of the menu and “rizolos” was not the item “rissoles”. The applicant could not explain how “rizolos” were made. It was the lack of understanding of the menu and how to make the items named that were the focus of questions by the Tribunal.

Barriers to racial equality in Australia

  • One in ten Australians (1.5 million of the nation’s adult population) believe that some races are inferior or superior to others.
  • 18 per cent of Australians surveyed said they had experienced discrimination because of skin colour, ethnic origin or religion. The most often reported location of discrimination was the neighbourhood (58 per cent), followed by shopping centres (42.8 per cent) and at work (39 per cent).
  • Of the 500 complaints lodged under the Racial Discrimination Act in 2012-2013, 192 related to incidents of racial hatred. This was a 59 per cent increase over the previous year, with a large proportion of the complaints (41 per cent) involving material on the Internet.
  • Around one in three (35 per cent) recent migrants said they faced hurdles in finding their first job. Of those who experienced difficulties:
    • 64 per cent reported a lack of Australian work experience or references,
    • 33 per cent experienced language difficulties
    • 23 per cent reported a lack of local contacts or networks
    • 15 per cent had difficulties having their skills or qualifications recognised.

Cultural diversity in Australia

  • One in four of Australia’s 22 million people were born overseas; 46 per cent have at least one parent who was born overseas; and nearly 20 per cent of Australians speak a language other than English at home.
  • In 2013, overseas migration represented 60 per cent of Australia’s population growth in the year.
  • People born in the United Kingdom continue to be the largest group of overseas-born residents (5.3 per cent), followed by New Zealand (2.6 per cent), China (1.8 per cent), India (1.6 per cent) and Vietnam (0.9 per cent). In 2013-14, 163 017 people from more than 190 countries were approved to become Australian citizens.
  • Migrants make an enormous contribution to Australia’s economy and provide an estimated fiscal benefit of over 10 billion dollars in their first ten years of settlement. In 2010-11, international education activity contributed $16.3 billion to the Australian economy.
