    Duffy was coming across as having a fair bit of sympathy for this serial drink driver too.

    He also committed drink driving offences while in Australia.

    Then tried to court public sympathy for his situation by only telling half the story.

    Perhaps Ireland should adopt a similar policy of returning migrants who commit crimes to their home country


    we have such a policy for serious criminals. for petty crime it's not cost effective though.

    If they commit crimes, then send them back. Australia leads by example of how the treat immigrants. Get tough on them.

    incorrect, australia doesn't lead by example. getting tough on every single immigrant isn't cost effective and we haven't got the resources. more important things to spend money on such as transport, health, education.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    They Australians don't get tough on every single immigrant. Just those that lie on their visa applications and who commit crimes. Fair dues to them. They're down one habitual drunk driver now.

    IF he had committed a crime, done the time and didn't disclose it on the immigration form, then had seven years with an absolutely clean record, I'd disapprove of the lie, but have a mild amount of sympathy for someone trying to restart their life and making a dumb mistake for fear of prejudice.

    But since that's not the case and he's a serial offender who seems to have no idea of the gravity of what he's done (repeatedly), screw him, no sympathy at all.

    He's an Irish citizen so like it or not, he's our problem and not theirs. He broke the terms of his visa and rightfully got the boot.

    I'd be surprised if he ever gets to step foot on Australian soil again. They've one of the largest immigrant populations in the world but if you commit a crime or lie to get in then you get the boot. They're tough but fair.

    I only hope the fella gives the drink driving a knock on the head when he comes back here.

    I think it's reasonably common knowledge that the Australians don't like us all that much, people here don't appreciate that but the person in question here is an idiot plain and simple.
