More people could be released from immigration detention following High Court ruling

The federal government expects it will have to do more to overhaul Australia's immigration detention system, as it faces the prospect of more people being released from immigration detention. Key points: Ninety-three people have now been released from immigration detention after the High Court ruling Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil insists the government's response has just been "phase one" But the Coalition says Labor needs to be doing more to protect the community The government has now released 93 people, including convicted murderers and sex offenders, into the community after the High Court ruled indefinitely immigration detention was illegal. The government has confirmed among the people released are three murders and "several" sex offenders, including the man at the centre of the High Court case, who went to jail for raping a 10-year-old boy in Australia. "It is very clear that they were caught on the hop when the High Court handed down its ruling on Wednesday," Shadow Home Affairs spokesman James Paterson told the ABC's Insiders program. Senator Paterson did not go as far as Mr Dutton in suggesting all the people should be back in detention, but he said the government could do more to detain the "highest risk offenders".
