Tehan claims another 100-150 ‘hardened’ criminals could be released

Dan Tehan says 'another 100-150 hardened criminals' could be released into community as he doubles down on attack of Labor and Immigration Minister Andrew Giles

The decision led to the release of 149 immigration detainees and, according to the shadow immigration minister, the government has now been advised the number could double. “That's what we need Andrew Giles being upfront about this week. Is that true? Have they received that legal briefing from their department is that what that secret briefing on Friday of journalists was all about?"

Immigration minister Andrew Giles issued a response to Coalition's claim on Monday but did not directly address the question on the number of detainees who could be released.

And it's because of decisions that Labor is making,” Senator Hume said.
