AAT conference.
The Hon. Justice Garry Downes AM President of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Judge of the Federal Court of Australia 26 August 2009.
In virtually every respect the Tribunal’s decision is the agency’s decision. The agency carries it into effect or enforces it, as if it was its decision. It supervises its implementation. To the agency is given the role of ascertaining whether the decision is no longer applicable and if subsequent events require the decision to be revoked or varied, such as when a social security recipient ceases to qualify for a pension, it is for the agency to cancel the pension.
It's a frost ploughing through some of it, but it may prevent embarassment later. It does support virtualy everything CP has said on this forum about 'the way things are'.
