Sybilla Sarin, aged 27, came to Australia from Jordan on a Student (Temporary) Class TU Subclass 500 visa to study a degree in architecture at RMIT University. However, 1 classmate, Peter, an Australian citizen who grew up in the Australian Outback, noticed Sybilla. Peter slowly started building a relationship with Sybilla. Firstly, as a friend, but after spending so much time together, they slowly realised that they actually had a lot in common, despite having such different backgrounds. Two years of the three-year architecture course passed very quickly. Over the years, with Peter's help, Sybilla became more confident and gained many friends. As a result of this extra socialising, Sybilla and Peter's relationship became rocky. Peter became quite jealous of her newfound friendships, in particular her interaction with Robert. Sybilla reassured Peter that she and Robert were only just friends and Peter seemed satisfied with that, albeit after some convincing. Approximately six months later, they had graduated from their architecture course. Sybilla is now planning to continue her studies by doing a Master's course and has been guaranteed a spot at RMIT University based on completing the Bachelor's degree at RMIT University. At this stage, Sybilla still has four months left on her student visa. To utilise this time, she wants to travel around Australia, as she had not had an opportunity to do so yet. Peter suggested that Sybilla come and visit his family in the Outback. Sybilla jumped at the chance, as she really did love Peter and was very eager to meet his family. They arrived at his home in the Outback and were greeted by Peter's incredibly welcoming family. One week later, Peter proposed to Sybilla. Sybilla was over the moon and in that moment, without even thinking, she said yes! However, after sleeping on it, she realised that she was going to find it very difficult to break the news to her close-knit family back home. They arrived back in Melbourne and by this time Sybilla had one month left on her student visa. They got married in a small civil ceremony in front of family and friends. Sybilla still had not broken the news to her family back home and thought perhaps she would surprise them by visiting them with Peter. A couple of weeks after the ceremony, Robert came over to their place to congratulate them again. They had a lovely dinner together and Sybilla was surprised that after Robert left, Peter became very angry. Peter was confused as to why Sybilla would even invite Robert over and why she was so friendly with him during dinner. Sybilla said that she thought Robert was his friend as well and he had texted her that he wanted to congratulate them again and she did not see anything wrong with that. Peter was very angry because he thought that now that they were married, they would put each other first over everyone else. Sybilla said he was being silly, and on hearing this, Peter struck her with his fist as he could not believe she said that. 3 Sybilla was shocked at what happened and immediately locked herself in their bedroom and went to sleep. This certainly was not the Peter that she knew. The next day, Peter completely ignored her and this behaviour continued for another few weeks. Sybilla tried and tried to make amends, however, nothing worked. If anything, the more she tried the more violent Peter became with her. Sybilla's friends told her to tell the police, but she decided not to as she still loved Peter. Today Peter told her that he no longer wanted to be her husband and suggested that she should move out. While she was packing her things, she realised that several weeks have passed and that her student visa had expired two weeks ago. It had been a big few months. Sybilla is of the view that as she is still married to an Australian citizen, she can simply stay, particularly given the bad treatment she received from Peter. QUESTION 1.
