A 20-metre-long escape tunnel has been found at an immigration centre northeast of Perth, activists say.

The tunnel, which was also three metres high, was discovered on Monday around 10am at the Yongah Hill detention centre in Western Australia.

"Bits of roofing or bits of pipe, things like that, have been used for similar things in the past," a spokesperson said.

The tunnel is 3 metre high? Doesn't make any sense.

ForLovenFreedom I'm almost moved to tears of joy!

Tunneling out!

It’s part of the forest field airport link, Dutton may think he stopped the boats but not the planes.

Natural for innocent people to want to leave a prison…they are refugees not crooks.

3 metres high?. That’s questionable

Whatever you have to say about who did that, you gotta admit, that's a solid work ethic.

Fill it in with concrete, job done……

Wow!

Omg..These things are not surprises..
