''Peter Dutton as immigration minister exercised a discretion allowing the plaintiff, whose case overturned indefinite immigration detention, to reapply for a visa after he was convicted of raping a 10-year-old, the government has revealed......
The plaintiff in the original high court case, a stateless Rohingya refugee known as NZYQ, was convicted of sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 14 years on 28 January 2016.....
That’s right, the leader of the opposition intervened … to allow the convicted paedophile at the centre of the high court case NZYQ to apply for a new visa instead of seeking to have him removed from Australia.”
.......... on 11 February 2016, Dutton lifted a bar to allow NZYQ to apply for a safe haven enterprise visa. The application was rejected in July 2020 by a delegate of the minister.
