Judge rules Minister must reconsider family reunification application by mother of disabled child

A mother who is a full-time carer for her disabled son has won High Court orders directing the Minister for Justice to reconsider a refusal of visas for her other two children to join her here from an African country.

There were "grave deficiencies" in the Minister's decision refusing appeals by the woman over the rejection of applications for two 'join family' visas for the two children, Mr Justice Max Barrett ruled.
