In identifying the reasons behind sending people to different detention centres, are the costs per detainee per day of concern to the government and part of the process in determining which detainees will be sent to which detention centres? In those circumstances, why has there been processing at Christmas Island on occasions when it would actually make no difference to the rights or legal status of the detainees involved?
