I'm not real sure how the system works, but Will Packer even be allowed to stay in the country on a working Visa? isnt he an NZ resident?
Chewy, there is a case for him to be deported as he has been convicted:
Criminal deportation under section 200 of the Migration Act 1958
For the purposes of this direction, a potential deportee is any person who is not an Australian citizen and who has
been convicted in Australia of an offence for which the person was sentenced to imprisonment for life or to
imprisonment for a period of not less than one year, but only if:
(a) the person had been in Australia as a permanent resident either for a period of less than 10 years, or for periods
which (when added together) total less than ten years, at the time when the offence was committed; or
(b) the person is a New Zealand citizen who has been in Australia as an exempt non-citizen or as the holder of a
special category visa for a period of less than 10 years, or for periods which (when added together) total less than ten
years, when the offence was committed.
For the purpose of determining whether the person is a potential deportee, all of the following considerations are
irrelevant:
. the length of time that the person had spent in Australia at the time when the sentence was imposed;
. whether the person is actually imprisoned for a year;
. whether a non-parole period is set at less than one year if the sentence of imprisonment is one year or more.
