About this episode
Over the past few years, Australia’s immigration detention policy, which was once the feature of political debates and elections, has stopped making front page news.
That’s until a recent high court decision deemed Australia’s indefinite detention policy unlawful, leading to the release of over 140 people who had been in indefinite immigration detention.
It’s a decision that has sparked a scramble among Labor to come up with an immigration policy that is legal.
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on calls for more accountability in Australia’s hardline immigration regime.
