Dustin Martin on 'A Current Affair' Monday night

[YellowandBlackBlood]

So lets hope Dusty gets his dad back, for his and his brothers sake and also the family that Dutton has torn apart!

Shame on you Dutton and your selective inconsistent biased laws.

I don't mind Dutton, I am glad someone in power is worried about national security

Does deporting one bikie really show that he is worried about national security or does it show he likes to be seen to make the right moves? If he was serious, he'd be flexing his considerable muscle a little bit more than that. Of course he maybe doing more behind the scenes but we haven't heard anything to back that up as yet. Let's just say he wouldn't be the first politician to do something for just publicity's sake.

Not enough needless quoting of long post in this thread. Very dissapointing indeed

Not sure that the principles of natural justice for courts of law apply for immigration matters.

Going way off topic here, but one place where the principles of natural justice for courts of law do not apply is tribunal hearings.

thread unlocked (for now) - go off track again and it gets locked permanently

Massive cull complete 

FWIW A number of posters are walking a very thin line with their constant baiting and abuse of others (and not just in this thread I hasten to add)

I am not interested in finger pointing, who started it, who believes they are the victim aka as "the blame game"

And the point below stands ....

Folks it isnt hard, quote what you are answering, edit out what isn't relevant. People don't need to wade thorugh pages of quotes that started a week ago

As I said it isnt hard

Does anyone think Dusty would give the game up because of this and move to NZ to be with his father? His brother quit the Army as a result of this.

Do you think that he would do that?

[Chuck17]

Was his brother getting paid $500k odd in the army

Of course stuffing not

[Yeahright]

While I understand that not all information is shared with the public, the public has a right to know what the actual rules are.

"Foreign criminals automatically have their visas cancelled under section 501 of the Migration Act if they are sentenced to a jail term of a year or more, and also if they are a member of a bikie gang and suspected of criminal activity."
"Laws introduced in December allow the Government to deport foreign born people who have served up to 12 months jail or who fail character tests."
"The character test is both broad and subjective. It includes provision that a person can have a visa cancelled if the minister “reasonably suspects” a person of associating with a group or person engaged in criminal activity, even if they commit no crime themselves."

All quotes can be found in the links below.

If you would like the official wording under section 501 I refer you to http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ma1958118/s501.html. Specifically subsection 6b

Why not deport others like him?

So what makes these people not "like him". The fact he's a somewhat "high profile" person (due to being the father of Dustin) or the fact he's the father of a RFC player?

[Yeahright]

Also why is no one campaigning for this guy? WAT and YBB seem passionate about these laws but seem to be selective on Richmond players fathers

"Ian Wightman, a British citizen who has spent 50 of his 51 years in Australia, who served in the Australian army reserve, and whose partner, siblings and elderly parents are in Australia, is being held on the island facing deportation for lighting a scrub fire."

Its nothing to do with him being the father of a RFC player and many more are petitioning for him to return, as they are for Alex Vella to return and a lot of Tattooists to have their licenses returned as a result of the draconian laws in QLD.

Its a matter of respect, family and principle for some, money doesn't always come first.

[Diocletian]

What else are all these geniuses petitioning for Alex Vella to be let back into the country petitioning for? Ivan Milat to be released? Leash law exemptions for Pitbulls & Akitas?

Comparing Vella to Milat....LMFAO... a convicted serial killer against a man who has done nothing wrong other than ride bikes with his mates and had his Visa removed by a narcissist dictator who follows his own law.

Alex Vella has not led a blameless life.
