By Kirsty Lawrence
Now, the 49-year-old admits being deported as a 501 probably saved her life.
But after almost 20 years with no offending in New Zealand, she doesn t understand why she is not allowed back into Australia, not even to grieve. Murderers in prison in Australia get day release to go to funerals. I wasn t allowed back for my own father s funeral, even if I paid for my own security.
Nicole Marie Sutorius, deported in the early 2000s, has talked about how she fared after she was deported from Australia.(Stuff)

Sutorius is not the only 501 unhappy with how things have been handled, with a group of 501 deportees planning to take a class action lawsuit against the Australian Government over their treatment. To her knowledge she is one of the first people ever deported under the 501 scheme when she was sent back to New Zealand in the early 2000s. The 501 deporting scheme had been in legislation since 1958, but Sutorius said when she was deported, nobody was aware it existed. “I don’t know anyone else who came earlier than me.” The adopted little sister of the notorious Mark “Chopper” Read, who was a key player in the criminal underworld in Melbourne, Sutorius has lived a colourful life.
