00:00The man was one of hundreds released from immigration detention after the High Court's ruling,
00:08many of whom had served time in jail for violent offences.
00:12But they were caught in limbo with the government unable to deport them to their original countries.
00:18That all changed with a new law permitting deportation to a third country.
00:24Nauru was the first to agree to take in members of the so-called NZYQ cohort,
00:30but so far no one's been sent there, with the first three cases mired in court action.
00:36Win or lose, today's ruling was never going to see the man deported straight away,
00:41after he and the other two non-citizens lodged separate cases in the Federal Court,
00:47claiming they were denied procedural fairness in the decision to send them to Nauru.
00:52One complaint is that the officials filled in visa forms on their behalf and told them later.
00:59The Federal Court has already dismissed one of those cases,
01:03but that is now headed for an appeal in the High Court.
01:07At the weekend, the government announced a $408 million deal with Nauru,
01:12amid plans for a bill which would remove the obligation to grant procedural fairness to non-citizens facing removal.
01:20The government will be hoping to clear the way to start removing people to Nauru in its next round in the High Court.
01:27Over the weekend, the government announced the year anniversary of the Elton and Ma-Sahri,
01:33Kevin Vaughan, we agreed to ensure that they are not going to be in place now.
01:36We are not going to be able to handle their license as a civilism,
01:37but it is not going to be in place now.
01:39We are not going to be able to hold a hug by the way to end theiğ nauru in the sky.
01:40Hubert Oh, why are you?
01:41We are not going to be able to hold a hug by the time in the high court.
01:43We are not going to be able to pray for that.
01:45We are going to be able to do it now.
01:46I'm quite pleased on that.
01:47Thank you for little by the time in my first time in the High Court.
