Cease any planning for offshore detention centres for people seeking asylum.
The government should commit to reducing the use of immigration detention centres, and never to use offshore detention centres (for example by using ferries or islands).
Seeking asylum is not a criminal offence, it is a legal right. Detaining people who have already experienced torture, violence and human trafficking is particularly cruel.
Prolonged and indefinite detention has driven people to breaking point, with alarming levels of trauma, depression and other mental health conditions.
Please do not allow any plans for offshore detention centres to proceed, and please reduce the use of immigration detention centres.
