Another one of the immigration detainees released by order of the High Court’s controversial NZYQ decision in November has been arrested over an alleged breach of visa conditions.
A 37-year-old immigration detainee released as part of the NZYQ cohort has been arrested in Sydney and charged with a Commonwealth offence relating to mandatory visa conditions.
Another man was taken into custody in Sydney on Monday and charged with failing to comply with a mandated curfew listed under his visa requirements. “It will be alleged the man breached the conditions of his Commonwealth visa by failing to observe his residential curfew obligations,” the AFP said.It comes as the second arrest from the NZYQ detainee cohort in a week, after the arrest of a Sudanese-born man in Melbourne over similar charges on Friday.
Labor has not learnt from its past mistakes on border protection and immigration detention, and continues to put community safety at risk.Shadow home affairs minister James Paterson said it was concerning to see the government not implement its preventative detention regime passed last year to capture the higher-risk former detainees given the significant proportion of those who had re-offended.
Labor’s preventative detention laws were passed in December last year, weeks after the NZYQ judgement was delivered, amidst a war in Parliament on border protection policies and relentless attacks on the government to toughen its handling of what were painted as “hardened criminals”.
