Key legal question
Whether removal detention was justified by breach of an entry ban and flight risk.
Extracted holding
Yes. The appellant re-entered despite an existing entry ban, which satisfies the detention ground for disregarding an entry ban; his conduct also showed a concrete risk of absconding.
Extracted reasoning
The Court found his alleged lack of knowledge of the ban not credible, and noted that since the 1998 revision the ground does not require prior knowledge. Multiple identities, interrupted language interview, and refusal to cooperate showed that he would not assist in establishing identity or securing travel documents.
