Black Power members described as being part of a "crime ring" in Queensland are the subjects of a crackdown by Australian Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. Police are working with Mr Dutton to expel the members from southeast Queensland, the Courier-Mail reported. "A subsequent decision was made to deport several of those members to New Zealand" a Queensland police spokesperson said. Mr Dutton told the Courier-Mail "I'll do all I can to stop a notorious New Zealand street gang from gaining a foothold in Australia." Black Power are not listed as a declared organisation under the act and police said they did not meet the legislative threshold to be considered a serious community threat.
