Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has issued a new directive he says will make it "clearer" that non-citizens with a history of family or sexual violence should be deported, even if they have lived most of their lives in Australia.

The directive replaces Mr Giles's controversial "direction 99", which drew political fire after it emerged that it had been used by several people with criminal records to escape deportation.

But it also effectively reneges on a commitment Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made to the government of New Zealand in 2022.
