My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong, and relates to the High Court's ruling on immigration detention. This morning the Australian newspaper reported that one of the individuals released from immigration detention following the High Court's ruling last week is 'a violent sex predator with a record of attacking elderly women in their own homes so chilling a judge branded him "a danger to the Australian community"'. Today the Guardian newspaper reported that one of the detainees who was released was convicted of two counts of rape and one of sexual assault. The Guardian reports that the offence occurred at the victim's workplace when he held the victim 'up against a shelf in a blind spot without cameras in a retail store about 4 pm on a Thursday afternoon'. Last night the Australian newspaper reported that one of those released was a person who was convicted of abducting a 28-year-old woman and 'fatally shooting her in a forest on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur and blowing up her body with military-grade explosives'. What other types of offences were committed by those who have now been released?
