Teen's visa cancelled for allegedly doing car burn outs that caused an injury

A teenager charged with doing burn outs which left a 60 year-old-woman in hospital has been taken to Villawood Detention Centre, with his bridging visa revoked, according to a Nine News report.

The night when the lower ranked Iraqi soccer team beat Jordon with a late goal in its first round match of the Asian Cup, set an 18-year-old Iraqi to do burnouts in a Fairfield carpark in Sydney.

Unfortunately, that episode allegedly led to his car hitting a 60-year old woman leaving here with a shattered pelvis.

The news report states that the teen turned himself in, was granted bail and released from Surry Hills Police Centre but only to be then immediately placed in the custody of immigration officials.

The man’s bridging visa has been cancelled and he has been taken into the Villawood Detention Centre, a spokesman for the Minister of Immigration and Border Security told Nine News.

It was not reported on exactly what grounds the man’s visa was cancelled.

A new bill passed by the Senate late last year dramatically expanded the powers of the immigration Minister by granting the minister broad new powers to cancel or refuse visas to non-citizens who pose a ‘risk’ to the Australian community. The new bill provided that a person does not pass the character test if there is a ‘risk’ as opposed to the previous legislation’s requirement of ‘significant risk’, that they would pose a danger to the Australian community.
