[LINK] What Australia considers "a serious character flaw"

[Adam Todd]

I'[ve just been reading some legal documents relating to Dr 
Haneef.  They make very interesting reading.

Part of the document includes what is defined by Australia as 
"serious and nature of conduct" that would lead to a Character 
Decision being made and as such a visa being revoked.

What I found interesting was the order in which these matters are 
listed.  To short cut your reading, terrorism rakes 7th on the list 
after Drugs, Sexual Assault, and Armed Robbery.

Here's the list:

1.  Drugs (dealing, selling, making etc)

2.  Organised criminal activity resulting in conviction in Australia 
or elsewhere.

3.  Serious crime against the migration Act

4.  "sexual assaults are particularly repugnant to the Australian 
Community, especially sexual assaults involving children regardless 
of whether there is violence involved."   [Hmm, Judges and Police and DPP ... ]

5.  Armed robbery

6.  murder, manslaughter, assault or any other form of violence 
against a person

7.  terrorism

8.  kidnapping

9.  blackmail

10. extortion

11.  arson

12.  serious theft (including white collar crimes)

13.  crimes against children

14.  other crimes involving threat or violence

15.  ancillary offences in respect of any of the above.
