A violent New Zealander, who claimed he was beaten up in Australian detention, is being sent home.
Maueofa Fakauafusi, 25, moved to Australia at age 6 in 1998, but his final plea to remain has been rejected by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal of Australia.
According to court documents, Fakauafusi started offending at age 10, when he stole $2 from a police officer's wallet.
Since then, he has racked up a list of criminal offences, including aggravated burglary, rioting inside a detention centre and theft of a motor vehicle.
Fakauafusi said in his appeal that he had strong family and community ties to Australia, including a 4-year-old daughter.
