New Zealand man Tyler Pewhairangi, who attacked an elderly man for his pokie winnings, will be deported from Australia after a court ruled in favor of his deportation. Pewhairangi, who has lived in Australia since he was five years old, was sentenced to over three years in jail for aggravated robbery. His visa was canceled due to his prison sentence, and the court dismissed his appeal challenging the cancellation. Recent changes to a ministerial direction prioritize community safety over ties with Australia when deciding deportation cases.
