Serious misuse of mobile phone sees sex offender deported
A 46-year-old Finnish man will be liable for removal from Australia after downloading and distributing thousands of disturbing child exploitation material from mobile phones while in immigration detention. Mr Tapani Henrik Hakkinen was already a serial offender when he pleaded guilty to possessing child exploitation material in the Brisbane District Court yesterday (6 August 2020).
The discovery of over 5,855 images and 222 videos on mobile phones, was made at the Brisbane Immigration Detention Centre. Mr Hakkinen was interviewed and charged by Queensland Police, who also seized his mobile phones. Mr Haikkinen had only been in immigration detention for approximately 4 months, after serving 21 months in jail for previous child exploitation material offences.
Detention Operations Commander Graeme Grosse said this is a perfect example of the need for the Prohibiting Items Bill currently before Parliament.
Migration Alliance congratulates the Department of Home Affairs, in particular the Australian Border Force the Minister Peter Dutton for their excellent efforts in removing Mr Hakkinen from Australia.

I fully understand the desire of Australians to remove Mr Hakkinen from Australia. But if it is possible, we, here in Finland, would like Mr. Hakkinen to have an extremely long and unpleasant flight, and we would like to know on what day Mr. Hakkinen will arrive so that someone can take a photo of the man. Most likely, the Finnish government will not condemn this bastard, but will give him a free apartment and a monthly allowance to live on. And we, the citizens, do not want Mr Hakkinen to be our neighbors, so a picture of a man would help everyone.
Thank you, and awesome to see that there is a country that protects its own from pedophiles
