High Court,Indefinite Detention,Foreigners

Twenty-seven foreigners, whose indefinite detention was ruled illegal by the High Court, were referred to immigration ministers under serious offense categories. The court's reasons for the decision have not been released yet.

Twenty-seven of the foreigners whose indefinite detention was quashed by a landmark High Court decision are cases that have been referred to immigration ministers over several years under the category of “very serious violent offences, very serious crimes against children, very serious family or domestic violence or violent, sexual or exploitative offences”.

Late on Thursday evening revealed a “dashboard” prepared for the government about the detainees before the High Court decision last week, which ruled indefinite immigration detention was illegal, overturning a 20-year precedent. The court’s reasons have not yet been released. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles said during question time on Tuesday that at least three of the detainees were murderers. The categories show why detainees had their visas cancelled on character grounds. Not every detainee in each category would have been convicted in Australia and some may have been convicted overseas
