政府擬收緊品格測試,或令澳洲成為全球最苛刻國家之一。

國際法律專家表示,澳洲強硬驅逐外國罪犯出境的法例,較英國、美國及新西蘭都強硬。

過去六年,澳洲合共驅逐了 4,700 名外籍罪犯。政府正考慮將其驅逐出境的法例伸延至未被判處入獄的罪犯。

新南威爾士大學 Kaldor 國際難民法中心高級研究員比奈(Sangeetha Pillai)研究了各國對海外罪犯的處理手法。

比奈表示,雖然很難直接進行互相比較,但政府有意降低將刑事罪犯驅逐出境的罪行門檻,加上欠缺對兒童、來自新西蘭的長期居留者及難民的保障,令澳洲成為一個「與別不同」的國家。

她說:「這(政策)是嚴厲的,但實在不必要的,亦是無理地苛刻。」

「對未成年兒童、對長期居留澳洲的新西蘭公民、對難民而言,法案較現行規定更為嚴厲。但實際上未有增加更多權力保護澳洲,免受那些真正構成威脅者所害。」
