Agreed; the Australian govt has a great deal to answer for; they're effectively pissing all over the spirit of ANZAC. Oddly enough a friend & I were discussing this the other day.
They uproot people from what's often the only life they've ever known, & if they try to appeal then they can be stuck in 'detention camps' for months which aren't always near their families.
So some are cut off from families if the distance is too great for visits.
These are Australian made criminals who have little or nothing in common with NZ, & includes people who went to Oz at a very early age & who have no family or any kind of support here.
Its an appalling way to treat people who've already paid the penalty for their crimes.
Returning the 501's helps no one, & I suspect that there may soon be a thriving industry in returning people to Oz, with new identities - if that isn't already happening.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
