Rapist targets government in deportation fight
GEELONG rapist Leslie Cunliffe, who's fighting deportation,canada goose sale canada, says the us government backflipped on its word that it would not boot him from the country.
In fresh documents lodged in the Federal Court, Cunliffe stated the government Immigration Department failed to tell him that could remove him from Australia.
Federal Immigration Minister Chris Bowen decided to deport the British citizen in June about two months after he was granted parole after serving a minimum 12year jail term for kidnapping, raping, torturing and strapping an imitation bomb to some Geelong scholar.
Cunliffe will remain in the Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre until a minimum of December 13 when a decision is created on his visa status,canada goose livigno parka.
In court documents Cunliffe has retracted his declare that kicking him overseas would damage his mental health and family ties.
But he is maintaining that Mr Bowen failed to take the interests of his four grandchildren into account and the civil rights,canada goose outlet toronto.
The court papers said his court fight were built with a "reasonable prospect of success" and claims the federal government made a mistake in the decision.
Mr Bowen made his decision to remove Cunliffe in the country permanently because his criminal background, his crimes and the length of time he put in jail made him fail the smoothness test.
Cunliffe posed like a policeman and abducted his victim at gunpoint as she drove home from Deakin University in May 1999.
He held her hostage in a Belmont shed that police described as something in the movie Silence of the Lambs.
During her sevenhour ordeal the victim was hooded, bound and gagged inside a chair bolted to the floor, raped and had an imitation bomb strapped to her chest.
Cunliffe demanded a $1 million ransom from her parents,canada goose livigno parka review.
Cunliffe was originally sentenced to twenty years' jail for the crime but the Court of Appeal cut that by five years in 2000 and ordered he serve a minimum of 12 years.
Cunliffe's daughter previously told the Geelong Advertiser that although she could never forgive her father it was "heartbreaking" to think he would be deported.
Geelong Cats skipper Cameron Ling, who's friends using the victim, blasted the first release labelling it "disgusting" and he was joined by an increasing chorus attacking the parole board decision, including police, other AFL stars, the victim's family and victims of crime advocates.
