Times have certainly changed.
lol.
I think deporting a man that has lived in Australia since he was 6 is not good. He knows nothing about the UK, was raised in Australia & has family in Australia.
Criminal or not.
Even criminals have basic human rights. To say anything else sets a dangerous precedent for a free society and says much about their contempt for apparent law breakers, regardless of crime or innocence.
Think of it, a man has lived his entire life in Australia. He has no connection to anywhere else most likely. Would shipping him to China be very much different than shipping him to Britain? Certainly Britain has white people and a favorable language, but that's where it ends at.
It is a form of cruel and unusual punishment to exile someone who has no link to where they are being "deported" to. Not that I am aware if Oz has any bill of rights.
