Changes in the migration act could see more foreign-born criminals deported
The federal government will persist in making it easier to deport violent criminals who were born overseas.
The legislation which has been stalling for over two years will be reintroduced to the senate in a push to better protect women and children who have been victims of foreign-born sex offenders.
Under proposed changes, those committing serious offences which carry a jail term of over two years could be subject to deportation.
