WEB under pressure over release of 153 from immigration detention
Subheadline:
Immigration Minister Andrew Giles and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese are facing increasing pressure over the release of 153 people from immigration detention following a High Court decision last week.
The issue has become a political headache for Albanese, who has a close friendship with Giles. Giles has confirmed that 80 people have been released since the court's decision, but has not provided a breakdown of their visa status or how many remain in detention.
The opposition has seized on the issue, accusing the government of being soft on border security. The Greens have also criticized the government's handling of the situation, saying it is not doing enough to protect the rights of asylum seekers.
