Slain man’s brother says system failed, as opposition blames minister for release

The brother of a man allegedly murdered by a former immigration detainee says his family has been let down by a system that fails to protect the community.

“It’s ridiculous, it’s like a spit in the face. There’s no protection at all. Should’ve never happened.”after the Administrative Appeals Tribunal decided he was “now a low risk of reoffending”.This was despite the AAT noting his “frequent” offending and its “trend of increasing seriousness”, which saw Saki convicted of more than 40 offences as an adult and one as a 17-year-old between 2012 and 2018, in NSW, the ACT, South Australia and Queensland.

AAT deputy president Stephen Boyle overturned the 2019 decision, saying he accepted that Saki’s “risk of reoffending is low, that he now accepts responsibility for his actions and is remorseful for the harm that he has caused”. Opposition immigration spokesman Dan Tehan said Giles should have used his ministerial powers to overturn the AAT decision and put Saki back into detention.“Was the reason he didn’t make that ministerial intervention because of the changes he made to immigration law through Ministerial Direction 99 which requires the AAT to take into consideration the length of time an individual has spent in Australia?” Tehan asked.
