A recently freed detainee from immigration detention has been charged over the 'horrific' bashing of a Perth grandmother during a violent home invasion.
A federal minister has admitted the government is "deeply concerned" after a Perth grandmother was assaulted, allegedly by a recently freed immigration detainee during a violent home invasion. The man was one of three people arrested over the assault and robbery of 73-year-old Ninette Simmons earlier in April. Western Australian police allege the trio assaulted Simmons' husband Philip, 76, and tied his hands behind his back, before stealing $200,000 worth of jewellery.
"Sadly, it's victims like we've seen in Perth, and I think like we'll see across the country, who are paying the price for the incompetence of the Albanese government and the two ministers ... are missing in action," he told Nine's Today program.
