New Zealander Leroy Wilton wins appeal to stay in Australia despite domestic violence convictions

Leroy Wilton risked being deported to New Zealand after being jailed for domestic violence offences.A New Zealand born man jailed for throwing his partner across a bed before hitting her with his fists and a bat has won an appeal to stay in Australia.

It means when that offender is released they are transferred to an immigration detention centre and given written notice about the cancellation. It was the October 2022 attack on his ex-partner that prompted the intervention of immigration officials."The applicant accused Ms D of cheating on him," the tribunal said."As the argument escalated, the applicant, using both of his hands, grabbed Ms D by the collar, lifted her off the ground and proceeded to throw her across the bed causing her to fall onto the floor.

"That did not work. The applicant lifted the bat above his head and swung it in a downwards motion towards Ms D.The tribunal was told Wilton was on ice when he offended, but has been drug free since and had completed a domestic violence program.It said it was satisfied he had undertaken steps towards rehabilitation but it was insufficient to conclude there was a low or no risk of reoffending.
