Dutton was right and he is by releasing briefing like this showing people we still need him.

Hundreds of criminals in Australia facing deportation after losing visas

More than 800 criminals had their visas revoked in 2018 and face being booted out of Australia thanks to new laws.

Child sex offenders and murderers were among hundreds of criminals who faced being booted from Australia last year after losing their visas.

More than 800 criminals had their visas revoked in 2018 under laws that require non-citizens sentenced to 12 months or more to lose them.

The majority of the group — about 500 people — had been sentenced for violent crimes.

The group included 100 people involved in child sex offences or child exploitation, 53 people involved in domestic violence, 34 involved in sexual offences and 13 murderers.

Visas were also stripped from 125 people sentenced for assault and 56 for armed robbery.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said there was no place in Australia for those who seek to harm others.

“We welcome people from all round the world, but those few who think they can live in Australia and be involved in criminal actions need to know they won’t be staying long,” he said in a statement on Monday.

The latest figures bring the total number of non-citizen criminals stripped of Australian visas to 4150 since 2014, after mandatory cancellation provisions for criminals dealt sentences of 12 months or more were added to the Migration Act.

The federal government introduced draft laws to parliament in October that could lead to even more foreign-born criminals getting the boot.

Under the bill, anyone convicted of an offence punishable by at least two years in prison could have their visa cancelled — regardless of whether they were jailed for less time, or not jailed at all.

The laws would capture violent and sexual crimes including riots, home invasions, carjackings and serious breaches of family violence orders

Dutton is at best a dullard who is about to find his seat lost
He could not get the numbers in his own party
And he is never ever going to get enough support to win a raffle

Typical Labor, who would have left the criminals here.

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton previously said among people whose visas were cancelled last year were “some pretty nasty characters”.

Rebels bikie boss and Brownlow medallist Dustin Martin’s father Shane was deported to New Zealand weeks before his son played in the AFL grand final.

Daniel Maxwell, a New Zealander who was an accomplice in Brisbane teenager Cole Miller’s one punch attack death, was caught up in a bureaucratic bungle in August last year when he was released on an 18-month suspended jail term.

The 22-year-old New Zealander was on a night out with his co-accused Armstrong Renata in January 2016 when he repeatedly tried to start fights in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.

Eventually, they found Cole Miller, who was coward punched by Armstrong Renata and died in hospital a day later from his head injuries.

When Cole’s dad realised Maxwell had walked free from court, the grieving father put in a call to Mr Dutton’s office — hours later he was rearrested and sent to a detention centre for deportation.

About the same time, Caleb Maraku, 19, escaped a jail sentence for coward-punching teenager Taliesin O’Meara, 19, on the Gold Coast during Schoolies and walked from court laughing.

The incident caught the eye of Mr Dutton, who then cancelled Maraku’s visa under discretionary powers he can use if foreigners fail the department’s character test.

West Australian bikie Kevin Michael Lawrence, who migrated from the UK in the 1960s but never became an Australian citizen, last year had his visa cancelled while he was visiting Thailand.

The group of 800 included 100 people involved in child sex offences or child exploitation, 53 people involved in domestic violence, 34 involved in sexual offences and 13 murderers.

Visas were also stripped from 125 people sentenced for assault and 56 for armed robbery.

Last year’s cancellations were highest in NSW (about 300), followed by Queensland (190), Victoria (160), Western Australia (120) and South Australia (30).

Belly, You obviously only listen to ABC and SBS news, who hate Trump.
Many of Trumps supporters are black and Muslim. He prefers to keep out those from countries that have a high criminal or warring history.
