EIGHT killers and 66 other criminals with shocking records of violence are among foreign-born crooks the Administrative Appeals Tribunal has saved from deportation since 2010.
Members of the federal tribunal also overturned decisions by delegates of the Immigration Minister to rid Australia of 17 rapists, paedophiles and other sex offenders, 33 drug dealers, and 23 armed robbers.
The Herald Sun has identified 164 cases in the past eight years in which the AAT has rescued criminals whose visas were cancelled or not granted, 98 of them since 2013. Of the 164 cases, 33 were heard in Melbourne.
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS TRIBUNAL: HOW DOES AAT WORK?
CHILD RAPIST PRIEST SPARED DEPORTATION
AAT SAVES FAKE GAY CHRISTIAN
Ministerial delegates argued the deportations and other visa decisions were necessary to protect Australians, and that almost all of those whom they wanted to kick out of the country had “substantial criminal records”.
Contrary to the past five years, the latest figures show the AAT is now overruling more visa decisions by delegates for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton than it is upholding.

It reviewed 13,755 visa decisions by delegates in the past financial year, rejecting 5276 and affirming only 5110.
The rest were withdrawn or dismissed, or the AAT lacked jurisdiction.
In each of the previous five years the AAT affirmed more visa decisions than it overruled.
But the AAT’s migration and refugee division has still varied, remitted or set aside 26,273 of the visa decisions made by delegates for the minister since July, 2012.
It is not possible for members of the public — or the media — to scrutinise the reasons behind the vast majority of finalised visa decisions made in the AAT’s migration and refugee division as the latest figures show it only published 12.5 per cent of them in 2015-16, 7.3 per cent in 2016-17 and 15.5 per cent so far this financial year.
While the AAT does publish almost all its general division decisions relating to convicted criminals whose visas were cancelled by a delegate for the immigration minister, they are not easy to find.
The Herald Sun had to wade through many hundreds of written AAT decisions to identify the 164 cases since 2010 where the AAT’s general and migration and refugee divisions came to the rescue of foreign born criminals by overruling deportation and other visa decisions made by delegates for the immigration minister.
Of the 164 cases, 98 of them were heard in Sydney, 31 in Melbourne, 13 each in Perth and Brisbane, 7 in Adelaide and one each in Hobart and Canberra.
The Herald Sun has previously reported on a number of disturbing individual cases where the AAT has saved criminals from being kicked out of Australia so it decided to comprehensively analyse every written decision made by the AAT’s general division since 2010 in relation to the visas of convicted criminals to see how many more such cases it could identify.
That painstaking and time-consuming exercise discovered a number of controversial cases where the AAT has overturned deportation and other visa decisions made by ministerial delegates, including:
A KILLER New Zealander who was part of a gang whose members kicked Dr Zhongjun Cao to death in Footscray as the academic was walking home from Victoria University. The man, referred to by the AAT only as Mr M to protect his identity, was in a gang of seven who attacked and robbed Dr Cao. He punched Dr Cao in the face while his co-offenders attacked the doctor from behind.
CRIMINALS GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE BY THE AAT
Doctor Zhongjun Cao, a research fellow at the Post Compulsory Education Centre at Victoria University, was viciously bashed to death by up to seven men while he was walking to his Maribyrnong home.
Mr M was convicted of manslaughter and robbery in 2008 when he was 18. Mr M smirked in the Supreme Court when Justice David Harper told him he would be serving his three year sentence in a youth detention centre, rather than in an adult jail.
it goes on and on rather depressing read it yourself.
