In an episode of 'Only fools and horses', a British TV show, the family is about to move to Australia for a better life. But, at the last minute, their plans are derailed because Rodney's visa is denied, due to an old drug conviction (IIRC smoking, not selling).<p>This man is planning to go to Australia to visit his wife, but the article says he has a past conviction for selling drugs. I wonder whether this will affect his ability to visit.<p>I don't know how accurate the description of the murder conviction is, but the list of shortcomings sounds like it's out of the plot of a TV show. It's amazing that this happens in real life.
