The Department of Home Affairs has confirmed an Afghan refugee has died by suicide at a Brisbane hotel.

Australia rejected his attempts to reunite with his parents who are refugees living in Britain."The tragedy is a shocking tale of deliberate abuse and neglect," RAC spokesperson Ian Rintoul said.
