Credit: <\/span>Alex Ellinghausen<\/cite><\/p>\nBorder Force Commissioner Michael Outram said 132 of the 138 former detainees had so far been fitted with ankle bracelets, two were \u201cdifficult, complex cases\u201d that included health issues, and four were refusing to comply.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn terms of the scale of offending \u2026 they\u2019re at the lower end of risk to the community, those four. In one case that\u2019s been referred to the Australian Federal Police, we\u2019re still making attempts to contact that person. The other three have been contacted and we know where they are,\u201d Outram said at a press conference in Canberra on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles said the government would \u201cvigorously defend\u201d a fresh High Court challenge that says Labor\u2019s emergency laws requiring ankle bracelets and curfews are punitive and unconstitutional, as he announced the introduction of further laws.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are strengthening our approach that already exists in these laws by making it an offence to work with another person who is a minor or another vulnerable person for one of these people, an offence for going near a school, a child care centre or a day care centre and also an offence for an individual – part of this cohort to contact a victim or a member of that victim\u2019s family,\u201d Giles said.<\/p>\n
The government was also \u201cclarifying and expanding the power\u201d of law enforcement agencies such as the ABF after questions arose last week over federal agencies\u2019 ability and capacity to monitor the released detainees, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are making strict laws stricter, tough laws tougher,\u201d Giles said.<\/p>\n
A support service has also been established for victims of some of the released detainees, who include multiple murderers and child sex offenders.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, the government announced Border Force and Home Affairs staff numbers would be increased as part of a $255 million injection designed to bolster community safety from the release of the cohort.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil said the government was also introducing new laws to allow judges to strip the citizenship of convicted terrorists after notorious extremist Abdul Nacer Benbrika, jailed over a Melbourne bomb plot, won a High Court battle at the beginning of the month allowing him to stay in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur laws for the first time will make it possible for a court to withdraw someone\u2019s citizenship if they offend those particular laws,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
North Sydney independent Kylea Tink also introduced a bill into the House of Representatives on Monday imposing a 90-day limit on immigration detention. It also includes a prohibition of the detention of minors.<\/p>\n
Tink described the High Court decision as a \u201cwin for human rights\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is reprehensible that this ruling should be used as a pawn for political gain and the new laws, developed in response to that political posturing, are already being challenged in the High Court less than a week after they were rushed through parliament,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil said the government was \u201cvery well served by the ABF\u201d in patrolling the country\u2019s borders and the government had made sure the agency\u2019s resourcing news were met following the arrival of an asylum seeker boat in the Kimberley region last week. Twelve people were taken for offshore processing on Nauru.<\/p>\n
Outram told a parliamentary hearing last month that contractors\u2019 ability to recruit pilots had reduced aerial surveillance, while a reduction in maritime patrols was due to an ageing fleet and maintenance timeframes.<\/p>\n
But O\u2019Neil told the press conference she did not agree there had been a reduction in patrols due to worker shortages.<\/p>\n
