Dean Martin, a former Rebels bikie president who was once in a relationship with ex-Greens senator Lidia Thorpe, has been released from immigration detention.
A move to deport Dustin Martin’s uncle has been abandoned after the former Rebels bikie president was able to prove his Indigenous heritage.Martin had been held at an immigration detention centre since his arrest last month and was set to appear before the Supreme Court for a two-day trial.“The Love/Thoms High Court ruling ... determined that if a detainee reached certain thresholds they could not be deported,” the spokesperson said.
He stepped down as Rebels president in 2018 after his brother, Shane Martin – the father of AFL star Dustin – was deported to New Zealand. Martin briefly dated Lidia Thorpe when she was a member of the joint parliamentary law enforcement committee in 2021.The parliamentary committee had received confidential briefings in the past about bikie gangs and organised crime, prompting concerns about a potential conflict of interest.that while Thorpe should have disclosed the relationship, she did not receive any relevant sensitive information and therefore should not be held in contempt.
