- Summary:
-
On 16 March 2000, the committee agreed to seek the approval of the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, the Hon Philip Ruddock MP, to visit and assess human rights conditions at Australia's immigration detention centres (IDCs). In the context of increasing numbers of arrivals claiming assylum in the later part of 1999, the Committee was concerned at reports of the treatment of assylum seekers. While not refusing the request, the Minister suggested that the Committee take a number of actions before making any visits including the holding of discussions with the Joint Standing Committee on Migration (JSCM).
