The Guardian are reporting Peter Dutton in his role as Immigration Minister intervened to keep an Au Pair in Australia after their visa was questioned.
The home affairs minister Peter Dutton saved a third au pair from deportation, intervening after the AFL chief executive officer Gillon McLachlan raised the young woman’s case.
Guardian Australia understands a French woman named Alexandra Deuwel was detained at Adelaide’s international airport late on 31 October 2015.
Her tourist visa was cancelled at the border because there were suspicions she intended to work and she had previously been counselled over visa conditions during an earlier stay in Australia.
Deuwel had previously worked for McLachlan’s relatives Callum and Skye MacLachlan in South Australia and was returning to visit them. Callum MacLachlan is joint managing director of the cattle and sheep company Jumbuck Pastoral.
An AFL official, who works for Gillon McLachlan, is understood to have contacted Dutton’s chief of staff, Craig Maclachlan, on behalf of Callum regarding the former au pair’s situation. Although related to Gillon McLachlan, Callum’s side of the family spells its name differently. It is unclear whether Craig Maclachlan (who uses another slightly different spelling) is related to either Callum or Gillon.
Class will out
