determination is incorrect. he's also noted the anger from they'd tame by and are not the evening. and that tell them are in a port when junk of it was denied access to his representative. they by see sign any evidence of this. a temporary exemption at was provided before boarding at plane and on arrival. there also noted that on january 1st, they received correspondence from the home affairs department signed that had bit those requirements for quarantine, for a travel into australia and of accused these trying government. and that defense team of having basically described as, as art, up poor city of evidence as to what grounds they had to cancel that based on the government. they case extension to the case. and their argument is that the department's email was not an assurance. that's a joke of it hadn't exemption and that the overriding powers still sit with the home affairs minister who made that decision to revoke his visa. so the hearing is underway. we were expecting it to out to finish today. at this stage, we're not sure because it was such a delay,

the initial start of the hearing in the federal court in melbourne, or jokers which can actually train at the moment he can't actually acclimatize to australia. so even if his appeal succeeds, there's a tough road ahead. but what happens if he's appealed files? we has made a number of requests including i'm access to his on chef as well as a tennis court. of course, those were but denied out with regards to the larry as and what we should expect for an outcome for joking, which there are a number of scenarios. one is that he could win the case and be allowed to remain in australia and play in the strain open. he could lose this case. i be forced to leave a stride yes, straight away and that's obviously what the government wants at the other case could be it could be drawn out and joked, which is granted special permission to remain in australia and play. or the final scenario is the case is drawn out for so long that job which is asked to leave while that case is being reviewed. so as i mentioned, there's been delays already. and this particular case being held in the federal court could also extend beyond monday if the case takes longer than we expect from

the federal government, which is speaking this afternoon. no, sir, i just finally of the facility, the joke of inches in also houses a number of refugees who have been there for a number of years. their case has been highlighted as are putting any pressure on the australian government at look, this cat de sets aside case, but yes, it certainly has highlighted. does the plight for a number of refugees have been there for 18 months or more and they are obviously staying in that same hotel i did detention and had been for some time the government is focusing all its efforts on this particular case. because if the federal government loses this case, it makes a mockery of these tough border restrictions that have been in place for some time, particularly no. during coven. so the government is focusing all its efforts on a case in the federal court to try and get jock of each to portion at stating that rules are rules and jock of which are didn't meet. the criteria are required to stay in australia. so cargo reports for us live from brisbin,
