No, but they should be served a sentence within this country.
@9ZM933G4 days4D
Any crime from a foreigner that involves making an Australian a victim of any sort, serious or not should be up for instant deportment, no questions asked and if they have family .. well family can leave with them or accept that the way it is when you break our laws. No soft treatment for foreign criminals, ands we should be wasting tax payers money housing and feeding them in our prisons.
@9ZL6WJ76 days6D
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.
@9YL3RSC2wks2W
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.
@9WV5Y6Z4wks4W
Yes, but only if it's a very serious crime. And if their home country is safe. Probably after serving their sentence.
@9WTTNB94wks4W
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.
@9WKJD654wks4W
Depends on the case, if it’s a big crime, then it is what’s best. Also country of origin is important.
@9WK97VN4wks4W
If they are safe to return to their country of origin then yes, if it is unsafe they should face consequences within the country convicted to their appropriate consequence.
