A Burmese dissident has successfully fought a decision refusing her asylum in Australia because the word "oogabooga" was typed into the Refugee Review Tribunal's ruling.
The word appeared next to the heading "Definition of 'Refugee' " in a document outlining a tribunal member's findings in the case of Burmese woman Khin Wut Hmon Win.
A federal magistrate ruled that its appearance in the document would cause a "fair-minded" observer to conclude the tribunal was biased in its deliberations, and so overturned the decision.
