It was my honour to meet our Victorian volunteer who was allegedly attacked after having One Nation signs in his backyard. His injuries are serious and he has long road to recovery ahead. I want to thank everyone who has supported him and his family by raising a quarter of a million dollars for him. Guess what he said when I met him? He wants to get home to put his signs back up. What a trooper. But this is the kind of violence that Victorians are having to deal with every day as well as a court system that treats bail as a catch and release program. Criminals who are here on a visa should be rounded up and sent home. Australians are sick of their safety being put second.

This is wrong. If you're here on a visa and you commit a crime you should be sent home: A convicted Afghan drug courier and fraudster has had his visa cancellation overturned, despite his being charged with more drug offences in the lead-up to his appeal against a government decision to try to kick him out of the country. The 27-year-old refugee, who can be identified only by the pseudonym ZKDP, last week became the latest foreign criminal to be spared deportation by the Administrative Review Tribunal under the Albanese government’s Direction 110 guidance. The tribunal found while the man presented a “moderate” risk of reoffending, the strength, nat­ure and duration of his ties to Australia, the best interests of his younger siblings and the prospect and uncertainty of being removed from Australia all meant the cancellation of his visa that followed his drug courier conviction should be overturned. c/ The Australian

On Sunday 1 November, a husband and father to two young children was allegedly attacked with a baseball bat outside his home in Torquay, Victoria, after confronting two people who were damaging One Nation signs on his property. He is now in hospital with multiple facial fractures and bleeding on the brain. He faces a long recovery. He runs his own business and is the family's only income earner. While he is recovering, the family has no money coming in. His work vehicle was also badly damaged in the alleged attack. His family should be able to focus on his recovery without the added worry of lost income, medical costs and everyday bills. We are keeping his name private to protect him and his family. All funds raised will go directly to the family to help cover these expenses and support his recovery. I will be donating personally, and encourage others to please do the same. Any contribution, large or small, will help. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this page. Thank you for standing with this father and his family. gofundme.com/f/help-a-victor…
