My information, given to me from Australians who actually end up leaving prison after their crimes, is that they possibly may get two weeks of assistance. Some of them don't. They're shown out the door of the prisons, and then they actually have to go and find their own accommodation. They don't give them transport—absolutely nothing. You are saying that for three months the government will pick up the bill for these absolute animals in our society. That is appalling. Why is there such a disparity between Australians who actually have been released from prison and those in detention centres?
