The Immigration Minister announces that only one child of an asylum seeker who arrived in Australia by boat remains in detention on the Australian mainland. The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission recommends the release of all children who are in immigration detention in its report A last resort? National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention. The Commission says that there are still children in the Port Augusta Housing Project, Villawood, Maribyrnong, Christmas Island and Nauru facilities who face increasing risks of mental health consequences the longer they remain in detention.
