"Although he had never lived in Serbia, Melbourne man Robert Jovicic was deported there on character grounds by then immigration minister Philip Ruddock in June 2004.
Mr Jovicic declared last November that he was stateless and destitute, and would die on the steps of Australia's embassy in the Serbian capital of Belgrade if he could not return home.
Born in France to Serbian parents, Mr Jovicic arrived in Australia as a toddler in 1968. Though he lived in Australia for 36 of his 38 years, he did not acquire citizenship and his visa was cancelled on character grounds." [Deportation]
