Dustin Martin and his father Shane.
Shane Martin,who had lived in Australia since he was 20,was deported to New Zealand last year because of his links to the Rebels motorcycle club,missing his son's Brownlow Medal win and grand final triump as the Tigers claimed their first flag since 1980.
In September,the federal government pushed through a new law that prevented Shane Martin from returning to Australia.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said at the time that the government was"proud"of its decision to cancel Shane Martin's visa,saying he posed a threat to Australia.
Dutton pushed through an amendment to section 503A of the Migration Act to stop Shane Martin re-entering Australia after the High Court ruled that Dutton had been wrong to kick out two men accused of being Rebels bikies,AJ Graham and Mehaka Lee Te Puia.
The High Court ruled 6-1 in the men's favour and ordered the government to pay their legal costs.
The men were extradited from Australia based on secret information from police and intelligence services.
Governor-General Peter Cosgrove signed off on the amendment just hours before the High Court ruling,to ensure any other decisions on visa cancellations by Dutton under section 503A of the Migration Act would stand.
