we got another Indigenous star:
Aboriginal Corporation confirms Shane Martin is Indigenous as he attempts again to re-enter Australia
The father of AFL star Dustin Martin has again attempted to re-enter Australia after being deported, claiming he is Indigenous in the wake of the High Court deciding Aboriginals cannot be deported.www.theage.com.au
Shane Martin, the ex-bikie boss and father of AFL star Dustin Martin, was issued a certificate confirming his Aboriginality by the Aboriginal Corporation of Tasmania in December 2016, putting further pressure on the federal government to allow him to return to Australia in the wake of the High Court's decision that Aboriginal people cannot be deported.
The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age can reveal that Mr Martin, his three sons including Dustin and his brother were all issued with certificates confirming their Aboriginal genealogy in December 2016.
Dustin Martin's father Shane has failed in his latest bid to re-enter Australia after being deported
The corporation has confirmed Shane's grandmother was an Indigenous woman living in Tasmania before moving to New Zealand, elder Lance Le Sage said.
The corporation looks at a combination of documentary evidence and oral history, Mr Le Sage said, then decides whether to confirm Aboriginality based on the person identifying as Aboriginal, ancestry research and whether they are accepted by an Aboriginal community.
The federal government is "showing disrespect to us elders by ignoring documentation Shane is Aboriginal," Mr Le Sage said.
Mr Martin flew into Sydney International Airport from Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, with a barrister on Sunday afternoon, having been deported to New Zealand in 2016 on the grounds of bad character.
Shane Martin has mounted several legal challenges attempting to return to Australia.
His latest attempt to return to Australia came six days after the High Court ruled that Aboriginal people could not be deported from Australia.
When immigration officers refused to allow Mr Martin entry to Australia, his lawyer attempted to stop Mr Martin's return to New Zealand by an urgent late-night Federal Circuit Court injunction hearing.
This failed and Mr Martin was on a Qantas flight back to Auckland on Monday morning.
Mr Martin, who runs his Sydney trucking company from New Zealand, has mounted several legal challenges attempting to return to Australia where his wife, three sons and two step-daughters all live.
"Martin’s claims of indigeneity will be considered along with any evidence in support of these claims while he is offshore," an Australian Border Force spokeswoman said.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton called Mr Martin's claims of Aboriginality "spurious" on Today on Tuesday morning.
"He, along with many others, don't deserve to be in our country and that's why they have had their visas cancelled," he said.
"If you come to our country as a Kiwi, a US citizen, as citizen of anywhere else in the world and you commit crimes in our country ... you can expect to be deported."

Brownlow Medal winner Dusty Martin: how a young bloke 'pulled his head in'
Mr Martin's national police check, obtained by the Herald and The Age, shows he has been convicted of the possession of drugs and other restricted substances in the early 1990s.
In 1990, he was charged with resisting police, burglary, being armed with intent, unlawful assault and criminal damage. In 2004, he was given a suspended sentence of eight weeks for aiding and abetting ecstasy trafficking, two counts of possessing a drug of dependence and possessing cannabis and MDMA.
In his book Rebel in Exile, Mr Martin claims he has left the bikie gang which he had previously said were his "brothers".
Shut down by Tasmanian tribe that he isn’t indigenous

The retired champion whose style of play most closely resembles Dustin Martin admits to having a man crush on the Brownlow medallist.
Eight-time All Australian Mark Ricciuto has been caught up in Martin mania at a time that the Tiger superstar has eclipsed Lance Franklin as the game’s most popular player.
“My kid barracks for Richmond because of Dusty and my cat is named Dusty after Dusty,” Ricciuto told the Herald Sun.
“I like him and my kids like him and he’s my favourite player to watch in the AFL.
“His kicking is brilliant, he is dangerous in the centre square, he is dangerous setting up forwards and he is dangerous when he’s forward, which is why he is the best player in the comp.
“I am a very poor man’s Dusty. With less tattoos, less hair, less premierships, less Brownlows.”
If Patrick Dangerfield dragged the AFL’s stars into the Bushfire relief game, Martin showed his class by winning the best-afield medal.
The fact he took home that award for a handful of exquisite moments only adds to his mystique.
This has truly been Dusty’s Decade, a 10-year period during which he has played 224 of a possible 231 games for Richmond.
He has never finished out of the club’s top-10 in the best-and-fairest with seven podium finishes.
He has won two flags, two Norm Smith Medals, one Brownlow and three Australian awards.
At just 28, he should roar past 300 games and set himself for a mammoth games tally by the time he retires.
It is hard to think of a more dominant player in their first decade, but Chris Judd was six times All Australian in the same time frame while Gary Ablett Jr had one of his two Brownlows, two flags and five All-Australian nods.
We are truly in the era of Peak Dusty.
The Herald Sun canvassed greats of the game at Monday’s Fox Footy season launch to ask how Martin compared to footy’s best midfielders.
Alastair Lynch compared Martin to triple-premiership captain Michael Voss, who he played alongside for 11 seasons.
“Vossy was in the middle more but those strong bodies that can just win a one-on-one or take a mark and just change the game, they are very similar the way they want about it,” Lynch said.
“They are so hard to tackle. Vossy’s great ability was not the fend, but he would get his hands free to get the handball away. Both are incredibly powerful.
“I love his ability in one on ones to make the most of his touches.
“In the Grand Final he was that far the difference in the Norm Smith Medal, it was ridiculous.”
Dermott Brereton, who played with Leigh Matthews laughed when he said Martin kicks better than Matthews — who won eight best-and-fairests, kicked 915 goals and amassed 7374 possessions.
“Having said that Leigh found a way to get it through the goals,” Brereton said.
“I would love to say there are real similarities. But Leigh ended up as a small forward who could mark over his head.
“Dusty ends up as a mid-sized forward who can outmark one-on-one but not overhead.”
Brereton said he had never seen anyone in the past decade who was a better decision maker or calmer with the footy than Martin.
“But in an era where if you get 20 possessions you were in the top three players, the amount of times Leigh got 30 plus was phenomenal and you add 900-plus goals.
“So we are talking Lance Franklin’s goalkicking prowess with about 5000 more possessions.”
Jordan Lewis, who shared the field with dual Norm Smith Medallist Luke Hodge, said both players gave their teammates “supreme confidence” that they would perform.
“Martin does the stuff that you can never really picture yourself doing but Hodgey did the reliable things so well,” Lewis said.
“Dusty is more eye-catching but the typical stuff was the hard and tough stuff and his ability to be in the contest and make good decisions set him part from anyone else.”
