Detention ruling 'no surprise' to advocates. :
"Refugee advocates say it is no surprise that a Federal Court judge has delivered a scathing ruling on the treatment of mentally-ill people held in immigration detention.
Justice Paul Finn found the Commonwealth Government breached its duty of care to two Baxter detainees, 'M' and 'S', seeking a transfer to a psychiatric hospital in Adelaide."
No, it's no surprise. We have said for a long time this is not the way to treat people, this is not how we treat people and more and more cases are coming to light about this system at Baxter. It's a blight.
