Peter Dutton given Friday noon deadline to avoid contempt of court charge
Â
A judge has told the home affairs minister, Peter Dutton to make a decision in an immigration case by midday on Friday or he will be charged with contempt of court.
Dutton could be arrested and jailed if he continues to defy the court in a long-running battle over whether a protection visa should be granted to an Iranian man who arrived in Australia by boat.
In a decision handed down on Thursday, the federal court judge Geoffrey Flick blasted Dutton for his âunapologetic reluctance to take personal responsibility for his own non-compliance with the lawâ and said the minister lacked candour in communications with the court by claiming he was not available to make a decision on the visa.
