Last week, the High Court delivered a historic ruling outlawing the indefinite detention of non-citizens.
Following the decision, 80 refugees were released immediately with 92 more made eligible for release, the federal government introduced a suite of conditions in response to the refugees’ release, imposing monitoring mechanisms including ankle bracelets and curfews.
