CB Bonus 06 : The IK and Australian government want to believe they can’t deport people. But they CAN!

Legal Powers Exist to DEPORT — Verified Australia 🇦🇺• Under Section 501 of the Migration Act 1958, the Minister (or delegate) can refuse or cancel a visa if a person fails the character test, which includes: • A substantial criminal record (sentenced to 12 months or more) • Convictions involving children or serious international crimes • Association with criminal organisations • Risk of disruptive or violent behavior • National security threats or INTERPOL notices • Ministerial Direction 99 (effective 3 March 2023 under Section 499) guided how these decisions should be made—especially weighing community safety and the individual’s ties to Australia.     • Since 21 June 2024, Direction 110 has replaced Direction 99, but the core remains: decision-makers still have the power to refuse or cancel visas based on character.   United Kingdom 🇬🇧 • Immigration Act 1971, Section 3(5)(a): the Secretary of State can deport any non-British national if their presence is “not conducive to the public good.” • Section 3(6): deportation may follow a court conviction for someone 17 or older. • UK Borders Act 2007 imposes mandatory deportation for foreign criminals sentenced to 12 months or more, unless exceptions apply.      Short, Fact-Based SummaryAustralia: • Yes, the law (Migration Act 1958, Section 501 + Direction 99/110) empowers the government to deport non-citizens who fail the character test. • Despite this, robust community-safety powers go unused. Legal challenges, vague wording in Direction 99, and high appeal success rates (AAT reversing about half of cancellations) have hampered enforcement.    UK: • Yes, under Immigration Act 1971 and UK Borders Act 2007, the Home Secretary must deport foreign nationals convicted of serious crimes or deemed not conducive to the public good. • Yet, in practice, human rights, family welfare (Section 55 duties), and treaty obligations can delay or block deportation decisions.    The UK and Australia already have clear laws allowing deportation of non-citizens who fail character or “good conduct” standards—under the Migration Act 1958 (Section 501 + Direction 99/110) in Australia and the Immigration Act 1971 + UK Borders Act 2007 in Britain.Why they’re not using them: • Australia: Weak political will, vague guidelines (Direction 99), and high appeal rates—courts and tribunals often overturn decisions. • UK: Human rights laws, child welfare duties, and legal safeguards slow or block deportations—even when the law allows them.http://codeblackmk.comSupport the showFollow Code Black with Madison King www.linktr.eee https://linktr.ee/codeblackMK?
