Australia’s Home Affairs Department has revealed that it has reimposed electronic monitoring and curfews on 10 asylum seekers released from infinite detention since 2023.

This comes as the Labor government struggles to deal with the aftermath of a series of High Court rulings since November 2023, the first of which stated that it was unlawful for asylum seekers to be kept in indefinite immigration detention.
