In continuing my remarks on this, I note that a further report was tabled yesterday citing 62 cases of people in long-term immigration detention. This other report, which was tabled back in May, contains a further 12 cases. These are continual reminders that the harm and damage being done by detention is continuing, as is the expense to the Australian taxpayer. For the moment I remind the Senate and the public of that fact, and at a later stage I will go through the specifics of some of these cases. I seek leave to continue by remarks later.

Leave granted; debate adjourned.
