Submission

This Bill is a balanced and carefully crafted attempt to end a system that continues to result in gross breaches of the human rights of asylum seekers. It permits detention for specific purposes and for defined periods of time, while also seeking to provide a range of protections to minimise the harms caused by detention. We urge the Committee to support the Bill.
