No, but they should be served a sentence within this country.

Depends on severity and nature of the crime and whether they immigrated legally or illegally. However I believe they should be given and serve a sentence in Australia if they have committed the crime within Australia - there's no guarantee that they would face any consequences for their crime if deported other than deportation.
@B3GPYP24 days4D
No, deportation of criminals is ineffective and should be replaced with longer sentences and be strictly monitored probation
@B3BP6BW7 days7D
If an immigrant enters the country illegally they should be deported. If an immigrant enters the country legally but commits a crime they should be deported
@9ZL6WJ74mos4MO
Yes but only if the offender is not married to an Australian citizen by birth or has developed a family in the country, their country is safe to return to.
@9YL3RSC4mos4MO
Only relevant to serious crimes which do not uphold the standard and ethics of our country and citizenship. And not to a dangerous country or place.
@9WV5Y6Z4mos4MO
Yes, but only if it's a very serious crime. And if their home country is safe. Probably after serving their sentence.
@9WTTNB94mos4MO
Depends on what crime they have committed, for example they should be deported if they have murdered, abused, severely harmed 1 or more people, commited fraud etc.
