In the case of David v Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade [2009] AATA 295, Mr. Garry David, an Australian citizen, found himself in a complex legal situation. He had been convicted of drug possession in Greece and was serving a 5-year prison sentence there, with additional legal proceedings pending in Bulgaria. Due to his legal troubles abroad, the Australian Ambassador in Athens recommended to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade that Mr. David's Australian passport be canceled, and the issuance of a new passport be denied. This recommendation was made under the authority of section 13 of the Australian Passports Act 2005, on the grounds that he was subject to arrest and imprisonment in a foreign country in connection with a serious offense.

Following the cancellation of his passport, Mr. David appealed to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). The AAT reviewed the case and upheld the decision to cancel Mr. David's Australian passport. However, despite these legal proceedings and the cancellation of his passport, Mr. David managed to obtain another valid Australian passport.

It's important to note that the issuance of a passport does not automatically confer citizenship of that country upon the person. This principle was well-established and uncontroversial, as recognized by the House of Lords in the case of Joyce v Director of Public Prosecutions [1946] AC 347. This case underscores that holding a passport is not equivalent to being granted citizenship and that it is possible for individuals to have a passport without possessing full citizenship rights in the issuing country.
