Hello,
I am a New Zealand citizen and have been living in Australia for about 4 Years on the NZ special visa.
Recently I was convicted of some drug possession charges and social supply in the NT. I served 33 days in prison and the rest of my sentence was suspended (12 months). I am under a supervision order and am not allowed to leave the town I reside in without parole officer permission.
I am desperate to get back home as I have no job, money, ability to receive benefits and am suffering severe mental health problems. I was hoping to be deported but since my sentencing last month I have heard nothing from immigration and it seems unlikely deportation will be happening.
My situation is becoming increasingly desperate.
My question is; is there any way I can get back home or escape the country? I would like to do this legally if possible (can I ask to be deported?) but as the situation progresses I wonder if I could make a run for it and fly back home. I don't care if this is a breach of my order as I never intend to return.
I have my passport back and can secure enough funds for a flight. Will I be stopped at the airport and arrested? I do not wish to go to jail for 12 months so if there is any risk, I would not even attempt it.
Really I need to know if when I go through the airport, will the system tell them I'm on a suspended sentence and therefore not allowed to leave or will I make it through and only have to worry if I attempted to return to Australia?
I know this is not a good thing and I should face up to what I have done but I just don't know how I am going to make it through as when my limited funds run out, I will be homeless and most likely dragged off to prison anyway. Is there any way out of this predicament or am I basically just screwed and going to have to deal with what happens?
I have already attempted suicide once in the last 14 days and landed myself in resuscitation for 6hrs then ICU for 2 days but unfortunately survived and was released back to the community (parole officer wasn't too concerned). I also have no friends or family residing in Australia.
Any help is appreciated....
Thanks.
