Sky News host Peta Credlin warns Labor is “chronically incapable” of protecting Australians after Immigration Minister Andrew Giles failed to confirm whether the paedophiles and murderers released from detention have ankle bracelets.
Documents tabled to the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee on Monday provided a breakdown of the serious crimes committed by immigration detainees who were freed last year from the landmark NZYQ High Court ruling.
The documents revealed that 24 of the freed detainees have reoffended since they were released into the community.
Mr Giles refused to confirm whether the released paedophiles and murderers currently had ankle bracelets and stressed the community protection board was providing advice on managing the issue.
“I mean, what even half-competent government would just wave such people into the community and then, when it gets the laws it says it needs to lock them up, it does nothing?” Ms Credlin said.
