Cian Manton: Mike Tyson

Department Of Immigration And Citizenship Dept: Officials carefully weighed the pros and cons of his visit and of his character given his criminal past before making the decision, said Cian Manton, a spokeswoman for Australia's Department of Immigration and Citizenship, according to Vancouver Sun. "Given the purpose of his visit and the short duration, we considered the risk of him reoffending to be very low," Manton said and wELLINGTON, New Zealand - Australia granted Mike Tyson a visa Wednesday, one week after New Zealand barred the former heavyweight boxing champion from entering that country due to his 1992 rape conviction. She said it was the first time Tyson had applied for a visa to Australia and he was warned the privilege could be revoked if he broke any laws. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
