Exclusive: Andrew Giles argued that court evidence about how ankle monitors work could help freed detainees breach visa conditions

Andrew Giles asked the high court to suppress details about how Australian Border Force conducts electronic monitoring of detainees released after the indefinite detention ruling.Andrew Giles asked the high court to suppress details about how Australian Border Force conducts electronic monitoring of detainees released after the indefinite detention ruling.

Giles and the commonwealth submitted that the order was necessary for “national security” and “to prevent prejudice to the proper administration of justice” because the material would disclose “sensitive law enforcement technologies and capabilities”. On Friday the court granted the suppression order by consent. The evidence will be available to the court and the parties but not the public.

YBFZ’s lawyers, Refugee Legal, argue the curfew and ankle bracelet visa conditions are punitive and breach the separation of powers.
