Labor’s immigration detainee crisis has deepened with new information revealing a child rapist was permitted to stay in Australia under orders from Immigration Minister Andrew Giles.
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles is facing mounting criticism after it was revealed a man who raped his own stepdaughter was permitted to remain in Australia under his Direction 99 .in January 2023, instructing the Australian Appeals Tribunal to make “ties to Australia” a primary consideration during visa determinations.
A New Zealand man, known as CHCY, was found guilty in 2022 of nine counts of “indecent treatment” including counts of rape against his 14-year-old stepdaughter. At the time of sentencing, the judge told CHYC he would lose his visa and added he “may well be deported”. “The Tribunal places weight on this consideration noting the Direction clearly articulates tolerance should be given to non-citizens in CHCY’s circumstances.”
Shadow immigration minister Dan Tehan said Direction 99 had"clearly failed" on Monday. Picture: Sky News Australia Similar findings have been made for other immigration detainees convicted for dozens of serious offences who have been released due to their “considerable” ties to Australia.on Sunday about one such case, to which he said his department had urged the AAT to cancel the visa citing community safety.
