A former Australian soldier, Oisin Donohoe, who was recruited to support the Albanese government's deportation plan, has called for an inquiry after uncovering that the Finks bikie gang infiltrated a critical border security operation.
Donohoe revealed in an interview with this publication and 60 Minutes that the Finks gang had secured a key taxpayer-funded contract to provide security on Nauru. This contract involves overseeing former immigration detainees scheduled for deportation from Australia.
“My efforts to report it to the government had been ignored.”
The security operation is privately run and funded by taxpayers. It involves former Australian military and law enforcement officials, with its first group of officers deployed from Brisbane last Thursday.
Rather than travel to Nauru with his colleagues, Donohoe chose to expose how gang members led by Ali Bilal, the Finks' feared international president, and his associates are part of the team managing the so-called NZYQ cohort.
The Albanese government reached an agreement to deport the NZYQ cohort to Nauru, continuing Australia’s strategy of using the island as a remote location for border security purposes in collaboration with the Nauruan government.
“The Finks bikie gang, led by Ali Bilal, is part of the security operation launched to help the Albanese and Nauruan governments manage the NZYQ cohort.”
Donohoe's revelations have raised serious concerns about the integrity of the border security operation and the awarding of contracts to criminal groups, prompting demands for governmental accountability and investigation.
Summary: A whistleblower exposed how the Finks bikie gang secured a taxpayer-funded security contract on Nauru, fueling calls for an inquiry into border security integrity under the Albanese government.
