I never denied that people are entitled to natural justice or that genuine refugees have been wrongly detained for extended periods. I am not opposed to reform of the system, just to its abolition. I don't oppose the release of stateless people who are cooperating. However, where people conceal their identity to avoid deportation they should be treated as the fraudsters they are. For people other than true refugees detention is not jailing. They are free to go anywhere in the world except Australia.
