No, but they should be served a sentence within this country.
@B4BTX2Z1 day1D
Yes, if the crime is federal and extreme (murder charges, major tax fraud, rape, drug trafficking, etc) and has been proven in a court of law to be guilty.
@B4B87243 days3D

@B3QCHPL4wks4W
This should be considered on a case by case basis. Considering also the family impacted by the decision
@B3NCXJY4wks4W
Not if they have been a violent product of Australian crime and lifestyle. Those who have recieved more than 5 years consistant Australian education as a child should not be deported back. Why should another country be held financially responsible for the failings of the Australian systems.
@B3N8VJV4wks4W
No, but they should be subject to Australian law like every other citizen. In the case of serious crimes, yes, but only if it is safe to return to their country
@B3MDYMQ4wks4W
Yes, only if they came illegally with intent to commit the crime related to an attack on the country
@B42J6NX2wks2W
Yes, but only if they have repeatedly committed such crimes. They should be treated like any other citizen first, then get deported if there is no signs of improvement.
