Clare O’Neil has conceded the protection board set up to manage released immigration detainees is not completely independent from government.
The Home Affairs Minister has admitted the Community Protection Board set up to manage the detainees released by last year’s contentious High Court ruling is “not independent” entirely of government.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese last Friday appeared to criticise the decision of the Community Protection Board which led to the ankle monitoring device of a former detainee being removed. "I think that's a wrong decision by that board, which they make the decisions independent ," he said. “This is a group of people, you know we have Graham Ashton, a former police commissioner from Victoria on that board. We have got people who have got lifelong careers and expertise in criminology and clinical psychology and other things.
