1. Introduction
Please do not limit the audience of these reports to the Immigration Department and the Minister. We would like to urge you to educate the public to pass on the report to newspapers and the other electronic media so that the public can learn what is going on in the immigration detention camp, and I know that public opinion is shifting when they become aware of what is happening.

A last resort ? Preface
This is an important report. It deals with our treatment of children in the most recent wave of boat people seeking refuge and a better life on our shores. It does so in the knowledge that there is a tension created by the community expectation that the Government will defend Australia's security while simultaneously upholding individual rights - the notion of the 'fairgo' for all. The report also challenges the argument that family unity within immigration detention centres is the only way that children's 'best interests' can be protected. -

Commission – General25 February 2015Speech
Statement to Senate Estimates, 24 February 2015
<p>(Check against delivery, 24 February 2015)</p> <p>The Report of the Commission’s Inquiry into the impact of immigration detention on children, <em><a href="/node/11379">The Forgotten Children</a></em>, has now been tabled in Parliament and is available to the public– more than three months after it was provided to the Government. The Inquiry took place from January 2013 to October 2014, covering the periods of both the former and current governments. The bipartisan nature of government responsibility is clear on any fair reading of this balanced and objective Report.</p>
