I thank Senator Cash for the question and note the continued politicisation of a ruling of the High Court. The High Court ruled that indefinite detention was unconstitutional, and it up-ended two decades of legal precedent. This opposition has taken every single opportunity to play politics with this issue as we have gotten on, have focused on keeping the community safe and have focused on putting in place arrangements to keep monitoring and keep an eye on those who have been released.
