The Labor government has announced that children and families are to be released from detention. If you thought so, look again. The announcement is a shameful sleight of hand.

Those that are “released”, will live in the community under “residence determinations” with possible curfews and other restrictive conditions set by the Minister. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Ian Rintoul) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/this-is-no-solution-for-asylum-seekers-its-a-con-job/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/this-is-no-solution-for-asylum-seekers-its-a-con-job/#item4273 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 20:00:33 +0000 Ian Rintoul | Author bios | The Punch
