政府拟收紧品格测试,或令澳洲成为全球最苛刻国家之一。

国际法律专家表示,澳洲强硬驱逐外国罪犯出境的法例,较英国、美国及新西兰都强硬。

过去六年,澳洲合共驱逐了 4,700 名外籍罪犯。政府正考虑将其驱逐出境的法例伸延至未被判处入狱的罪犯。

新南威尔士大学 Kaldor 国际难民法中心高级研究员比奈(Sangeetha Pillai)研究了各国对海外罪犯的处理手法。

比奈表示,虽然很难直接进行互相比较,但政府有意降低将刑事罪犯驱逐出境的罪行门槛,加上欠缺对儿童、来自新西兰的长期居留者及难民的保障,令澳洲成为一个「与别不同」的国家。

她说:「这(政策)是严厉的,但实在不必要的,亦是无理地苛刻。」

「对未成年儿童、对长期居留澳洲的新西兰公民、对难民而言,法案较现行规定更为严厉。但实际上未有增加更多权力保护澳洲,免受那些真正构成威胁者所害。」
