Border force has suggested man was ‘non-compliant’ but Guardian understands he was not read his visa conditions or fitted with ankle bracelet
At this point O’Neil would have made a loyal member of Howard’s ministry.
This whole affair has been disgraceful from Labor yet entirely on brand nowadays.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Clare O’Neil has refused to rule out that a man was able to leave immigration detention without electronic monitoring because Australian Border Force failed to read out visa conditions to him.
On Monday the ABF commissioner, Michael Outram, referred to four instances of alleged “non-compliance” with strict new electronic monitoring conditions for people released after a high court ruling on indefinite immigration detention.
It is understood the man was not verbally briefed on the conditions of his bridging visa and the ABF did not fit him with an ankle bracelet as it was required to do – unless the immigration minister granted an exemption.
The high court ruled this month that indefinite immigration detention was unlawful when there was no real prospect of deporting the non-citizen in the reasonably foreseeable future.
The court’s reasons were published on Tuesday afternoon, endorsing the possibility of re-detaining people convicted of serious crimes under a preventive detention regime.
The Coalition voted against the bill, with the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, citing Labor’s refusal to include a preventive detention regime.
