Peter Dutton rejoices as Canberra bikie boss booted from Australia
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has dropped his boot into a Canberra bikie getting kicked out of the country.
Mr Dutton was careful not to comment directly on deporting the Kiwi Comanchero, but celebrated the fact 250 bikies had been sent packing on his watch.
âWeâve been very clear that if youâre a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang and youâre involved in gang activity then you canât expect to stay here if youâre a non-citizen,â he told 2GB radio on Thursday.
The sergeant-of-arms of the Canberra chapter of the Comancheros had been facing affray, assault and bomb-making charges.
But prosecutors dropped all charges against the 25-year-old this week, and he will be sent back to New Zealand instead.
Mr Dutton, a former Queensland cop, has waged a long-running war against outlaw motorcycle gangs.
He blames bikies for peddling drugs and muscling small business owners.
âThey just donât have any regard for law-abiding citizens,â Mr Dutton said.
âThese are people that arenât involved in real jobs, theyâre money laundering, theyâre standing over small businesses.â
