Then you set a precedent that ministerial discretion can be used for a whole range of matters and can overrule a court of law. It is a very slippery slope when a government minister can overrule a lawful decision by an appointed judge. When that decision by the minister is based on public perception and "How many votes can I get" then it makes a mockery of our legal system. It should only ever be used in extreme cases. This is not one of them.

The law says the minister has authority to approve or cancel any visa.
