N.Z. WOMAN EVADES DEPORTATION
♦- , ESCAPE FROM SYDNEY HOSTEL (Received January 8, 9.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, January 8, It is reported that the woman who was not allowed to land from the Niagara on Boxing Day and who should have been sent back to New Zealand aboard the Awatea, has evaded the authorities and escaped deportation. Immigration officials had allowed the woman off the Niagara pending the departure of the Awatea on January 2 on condition that she remained at a young woman’s hostel near the city. She stayed there for several days and then disappeared. [When the Niagara berthed at Sydney on Boxing Day, a woman travelling on a thirdrdass ticket from Auckland was questioned by immigration officials, and, on being found to have insufficient means of support, she was prohibited from landing. It was stated that the woman twice previously tried to enter Australia, but on each occasion was discovered in mid-Tasman as a stowaway.]
