I'm familiar with the case. A white New Zealand citizen was convicted of beating his ex wife was at risk of deportation. He found a family member with Aboriginal heritage and used it to claim he's Aboriginal.

He could not be deported because the law does not allow Aboriginal people to be deported. So it's the opposite of what you claimed.

Now tell us about the 'concentration camps'. Should be fun.

Nah mate, this case is because they deported him.

Having won the case, because it’s obviously absurd, he’s allowed back into Australia

Each of the men in the article (that you haven't read) were white foreign nationals born overseas at risk of deportation until they found a way to claim Aboriginal heritage. Then so they could not be deported because we can't deport Aboriginal people

So it's the literal opposite of what you claimed.

From the article:

“Thoms was released from immigration detention immediately after the court issued its judgement. … The court found immigration laws did not apply to Thoms, who was a recognised native title holder.”

Thoms is “recognised native title holder”, that is an Aboriginal, who was in immigration detention, that is being deported, and the Government did their utmost to get him deported.

Quibble if you want but Australia deported Aborigines.

"That case had been brought by two men, Brendan Thoms and Daniel Love, who were born overseas and faced deportation after stints in jail."

Again they were able to be deported as foreign nationals. Once they used the loophole that doesn't allow Aboriginal people to be deported, they were allowed to stay because we can't deport Aboriginal people.

My dog learns quicker than this.

They're immigration detention centres. New Zealand has them too.

You should sort your country's shit out. And stop lying on the internet.

Really? NZ has detention centres in Papúa New Guinea and Nauru? Seriously? Stop lying and wake up to how awful Australia actually is
