Peter Dutton’s on air break down
A father whose 18-year-old son was killed in a cowardly one-punch attack has broken down while thanking Immigration Minister Peter Dutton for deporting the killer’s accomplice.
Cole Miller’s father Steve today rang radio station 2GB to express his gratitude to Mr Dutton, who personally took his dismayed phone call the day Maxwell walked free.
“I advised him of the circumstances, he got onto the Queensland police and the Border Force immediately, and that illegal immigrant was taken back into custody by 6.30pm that night and held for deportation to New Zealand, and I just want to thank Peter for that.”
Mr Miller became emotional as he thanked the minister.
“He didn’t know me from a bar of soap, and the guy’s a champion,” he said.
Emotion was also apparent in Mr Dutton’s voice as he responded to Mr Miller’s call.
“It’s an emotional thing, it really is,” Mr Dutton said. “Thanks to Steve, I’m so sorry to his family.”

"A teenage girl allegedly involved in the bashing of an American doctor and his teenage son as they left the Australian Open has had her bail varied so she can attend a school excursion."
This is the poor tourist who had to have his face reconstructed, so this was a very violent and serious assault.
Sadly, just another crazy day in the Victorian courts.
