One of the alleged perpetrators was part of a cohort of immigration detainees at the centre of a federal political fight.
The immigration minister has offered to speak to an elderly couple allegedly assaulted by a freed immigration detainee during a house invasion. Western Australian police say a trio assaulted Ninette Simmons, 73, and her 76-year-old husband Philip, alleging his hands were tied behind his back while they stole $200,000 in jewellery. The 43-year-old man was one of 154 men released from immigration detention in November after the High Court ruled indefinite detention was unlawful.
Giles hit back on that call, accusing the Opposition leader of disrespecting the rule of law, highlighting that the government had opposed the High Court decision that released the detainees but ultimately had to abide by the ruling. "He's misleading the Australian people," he said.
