Australia: unelected judges give fake asylum seekers license to wage jihad on the dole

• Editorial: AAT visa calls soft justice

The Herald Sun has seen documents which reveal details of more than 80 cases where the Immigration Minister tried to kick foreign born criminals out of Australia.

In each case a delegate for the Minister argued the deportations were necessary to protect Australians because all 81 had “substantial criminal records”.

AAT members were given detailed evidence of the violent, sexual and other serious crimes committed by the 76 men and five women, but still decided to overturn all of the ministerial deportation orders so the convicted criminals could stay in Australia.

Details about the rescuing of the 81 crooks by the AAT come after the Herald Sun last week revealed the AAT foiled Immigration Minister Peter Dutton’s bid to deport six Iranian boat people who falsely claimed they feared being killed if they were sent back.

It did so despite being aware all of them returned to Iran for holidays after getting their protection visas and knowing the fake refugees lied to get asylum.

The cases where AAT bureaucrats thwarted the Immigration Department decisions to send 81 foreign criminals back to their homelands include a:

KILLER refugee from Iraq who too several knives with him to confront his brother-in-law following an argument. The judge who jailed him for 18 years over the murder said the Iraqian used the knives to repeatedly slash at his brother-in-law before stabbing him twice. One of the stab wounds penetrated his brother-in-law’s heart.

SCOTTISH hitman who was jailed for 17 years after being convicted of murdering a Melbourne man by shooting him in the head with a sawn-off rifle because the murdered man’s wife paid him $2000 to do so.

CHINESE student who dropped out of his Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology international trade course and ended up becoming a major drug dealer instead. He has separate convictions for trafficking ice, heroin and cocaine and handling more than $4 million worth of proceeds of crime. He refused to identify his Cantonese organised crime boss to police because he feared the gang would harm him and his parents if he did.

DIRTY doctor from India who sexually attacked a female teenage diabetic patient he was treating at major city hospital. He was convicted of two counts of sexual penetration and three of unlawful and indecent assault. The judge who jailed the married doctor told him “your conduct in pretending to professionally examine and then taking sexual advantage of a sick and vulnerable young woman seeking urgent medical treatment is quite despicable”.

DRUG dealing foreign student who was given a protection visa on the grounds that his homosexuality would result in him being persecuted if he went back to his own country as it banned gay relationships — yet he voluntarily returned to his homeland for a holiday to visit his Muslim family.

SCOTTISH career criminal with 62 convictions, including for rape, robbery with violence, theft, resisting police, assaulting his partner and breaches of court orders. A delegate for the Immigration Minister argued at the AAT hearing that the man’s serious offending over a number of years meant “his continued presence in Australia would entail a significant risk to the community”. Despite that, the AAT let the recidivist Scot stay in Australia.

PAEDOPHILE from New Zealand who was convicted of 18 child pornography offences relating to seven children on 15 separate occasions. He took many photographs of the children while they were in his care. The court was told he made the children pose in an explicit way “for the purposes of sexual gratification”.

Sixty of the AAT decisions to overturn the ministerial deportation orders were made in the past five years and all 81 occurred since 2010.

Most were in Melbourne and Sydney, but some were in Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.

The Herald Sun last week also revealed half of the 40 illegal boat people the Coalition Government has tried to kick out since the queue jumpers were granted protection visas under the previous Labor government have been saved by the AAT overturning the ministerial deportation orders.

Among those allowed to stay by the AAT were 20 fake asylum seekers who lied on their visa applications by claiming they faced danger and persecution if they had to return to their own countries.

Six of those 20 were the Iranian boat people who were caught holidaying in their homeland despite having been granted their protection visas on the grounds their lives would be at risk if they went back to Iran.

Other cases where the AAT has overturned ministerial decisions to deport foreign born convicted criminals include a:

NEW ZEALAND ice addict who didn’t disclose his extensive criminal record when he entered Australia then continued to commit crimes of violence in Australia while on good behaviour bonds for other offences, including beating a man so badly the victim sustained severe and permanent traumatic brain injury.

SOMALIAN armed robber who chased and caught a fleeing taxi driver before tying a belt around the driver’s neck and dragging him back to the taxi to rob him while telling the terrified driver he would be killed if he ran away again.

HEROIN addicted drug dealing New Zealander who was sentenced to jail 33 times over 127 criminal offences committed during a 29-year crime spree that included a serious assault on a police officer.

PERVERTED Maltese man convicted of attempted incest with his 12-year-old stepdaughter and the rape of his wife.

VIETNAMESE armed robber with 63 convictions spread over 15 years, including wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, assaults, possession of a firearm and unlawful wounding.

SLEAZY Colombian man who groomed his 11-year-old stepdaughter for months before sexually assaulting her. He was also convicted of unlawfully detaining her by forcibly holding her down while she begged him not to touch her and then chasing her and dragging her back to her bedroom after she struggled free and fled.

DEFACTO-BEATING New Zealander convicted of intentionally causing serious injury to his partner. He dragged her into a shed by her hair, threw her down on a mattress and ripped her clothes off before biting her repeatedly all over her body with enough force to draw blood. He also punched her several times in the head and face before grabbing her by the throat and while choking her he forced her to swallow a sleeping tablet.

FIJIAN man who was on a good behaviour bond for an earlier assault on his partner with a knife, his fists and his feet while she was holding their baby attacked and beat a man so badly the victim was left in a permanent vegetative state. He was convicted of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm over the pub car park attack.

COOK ISLAND killer with a string of convictions for violence and robbery offences who was jailed for 15 years after his murder charge was downgraded to manslaughter. The victim was a man who was cleaning a pool hall when he was shot dead in front of his wife and teenage son. The victim was fatally shot by an accomplice of the Cook Islander. The sawn-off shotgun used was owned by the Cook Islander and the Supreme Court judge was satisfied the Cook Islander was the ringleader during the pool hall raid.
