Australian Government,High Court,Detention

The Australian government is looking for a solution after the High Court ruled that it was illegal to keep people in immigration detention indefinitely. The government has commissioned the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force to manage the detainees who have been released under strict visa conditions. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton calls for a legislative fix to ensure community safety.

The Australian Federal Police and the Australian Border Force have been commissioned by the government to manage the detainees who have been released under a joint operation, placing individuals under “strict, mandatory visa conditions”. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says parliament should rise and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese should not attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit until the government finds a “legislative fix” to keep the community safe.

The government is considering new laws and regulations available to deal with the fallout of the decision. The High Court ruled on November 8 that it was illegal for the government to keep people in immigration detention indefinitely which overturned a 20-year precedent
