Ko Haapu has spent three months in Casuarina prison under Australia's tough new immigration laws, for belonging to an outlawed motorcycle gang.

He said police had been following his partner to work, sitting outside her home and pulling her over multiple times to check her licence.
Mr Haapu, who has not been charged with a crime, said police were trying their hardest to find something to pin on him.
He said the minister was putting his family through an emotional rollercoaster, which resulted in his partner's miscarriage.
