Dan Tehan (Wannon, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. The minister has told the parliament that the High Court's decision meant that 'every person required to be released by order of the High Court was so released'. In fact, the High Court only directed the release of the plaintiff, NZYQ, in that case. The decision to release the others was a decision made by the government in advance of the reasons being handed down, based on what it expected the High Court to say. Isn't it the case that the minister has misled the parliament?
