Senate debates Questions without Notice
Villawood Immigration Detention Centre

Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that the investigation into Villawood, by former Queensland Corrective Services chief, Keith Hamburger, has now been completed? Can the minister also inform the Senate why this matter was not referred to the police—either the New South Wales Police or the AFP—in accordance with the memorandum of understanding between the New South Wales Police and DIMA? As I understand it, that memorandum indicates that a crime should be reported at a particular point in time. Finally, does the minister intend to make the report, when she receives it, available to the public? If so, when?
