Dutton slams visa crims

-

HOME Affairs Minister Peter Dutton is “incredibly frustrated” with the visa appeal process that has let foreignbor­n criminals avoid deportatio­n.

It was revealed yesterday that Turkish double murderer Mustafa Kunduraci was free to kill because decisions to keep him out of Australia were twice overturned by the forerunner to the Administra­tive Appeals Tribunal. One of the victim’s sisters accused the Migration Review Tribunal of having “blood on its hands”.

“I can understand the frustratio­n, I share it every day ... I think taxpayers, the Australian public, and most importantl­y the victims and their families, are being taken for a ride,” Mr Dutton said.
