The figure includes 13 murderers, around 100 paedophiles and 34 rapists and sexual offenders, according to 2018 statistics released by the Australian government. Also deported were 53 domestic abusers, 56 armed robbers and 125 offenders who had committed an assault. The deportations were down to more stringent laws introduced by Home Affairs minister Peter Dutton in 2014.
The criminals all had their visas cancelled and sent back to their home countries.
Some of the convicts deported were among the most high-profile criminals to have gone through the Australian legal system in recent years.
They included violent biker Aaron AJ Graham, founder of Rebel’s Australia Tasmania chapter.
The 50-year-old was sent back to his native New Zealand after attacking an insurance fraud investigator.
Graham was found guilty of punching and kicking the 19-year-old in the 2009 attack before poking his eye out with an aerial.
The biker was jailed for 15 months and had his visa cancelled after prosecutors successfully argued he did not meet character requirements.
