Peter Dutton au pair decision helped former Queensland Police colleague

The emails were obtained by Victorian Labor senator Kimberley Kitching, a member of the legal and constitutional committee examining the au pair visa decisions, and set up a new avenue of inquiry in public hearings in coming weeks.


The emails show that one official warned there might be a “financial liability” if the minister reversed the deportation process of the au pair, Alexandra Deuwel, because her flight back to France had already been booked.


The emails also show Ms Deuwel had been working and living in Australia since 2012 and had been counselled about her visa conditions in March 2015.


Ms Deuwel was refused a visa in Adelaide on the evening of Saturday, October 31, and spent the night in detention. She would have been deported the following night if the minister had not responded to a plea for urgent help.


The family she was to visit, Callum and Skye MacLachlan, sent an email to another member of their extended family, Mr McLachlan of the AFL, at 10.55am on the Sunday. The AFL chief then forwarded it to his head of government relations, Jude Donnelly, who got in touch with Mr Dutton’s chief of staff.
