Having considered all the evidence tendered herein, we are satisfied that the applicant's participation in the alleged attack was not an act associated with a political objective as defined in the Act in that on his own version the attack was not as a result of a considered decision but was as a result of a "spur of the moment decision" after he and his colleagues were in a "drunken brawl".
