Immigration detention is set to dominate Australian politics this week, as the government prepares for another High Court case that could see more than 100 people released. An Iranian man, known as ASF 17, will argue his case in the High Court next month.

Liberal Senator Jane Hume slams the government over immigration detentionImmigration detention issues have plagued the Federal Government for the last four months.

“So another parliamentary week and another week of chaos and incompetence on immigration detention from Minister Giles and Minister O'Neill.”ASF-17 is an Iranian man who has refused to cooperate with authorities, claiming if he was deported, he would face persecution, and possibly the death penalty, in Iran.

“Minister Giles has been hopeless and hapless in handling this for over 12 months. we've said to the Prime Minister, it's time for him to step in and do something you have to remember this is about the government's number one priority, keeping the Australian community safe. Minister Giles has shown he's not up to it. The Prime Minister now needs to step in and act.”Professor of Constitutional Law with Monash University Luke Beck says the NZYQ case was about one man from Myanmar.
