Dozens of asylum seekers are being released from detention in Brisbane, advocates say

Calls for refugees released from Brisbane hotel detention to be given emergency housing

State Greens MP Amy MacMahon said the men were “essentially being released into poverty”. “These men have unmet health needs, and insecure or no housing at all,” she said on Monday. “Without support, it’ll be up to volunteers and community organisations to provide supports that the government really should be offering.” She plans to write to Queensland’s multicultural affairs minister, Leanne Linard, asking the state government to step in and provide emergency housing and relief services. The ASRC said detainees freed earlier this year from facilities in Melbourne received up to six weeks of support, including motel accommodation and income support payments, but that is due to soon run out.

Dozens of asylum seekers released from detention in Brisbane, with more to follow, advocates say

Share on Twitter Dozens of asylum seekers detained in a Brisbane motel are being released into the community on bridging visas, refugee advocates say.  The Refugee Action Coalition said on Monday morning it understood 25 people who had been kept at the Kangaroo Point Hotel were being granted bridging visas, along with two detained at Brisbane Immigration Transit Accommodation.  In January, dozens of asylum seekers brought to Australia under the now-repealed medevac law were suddenly released from detention in Melbourne. Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton said at the time it was more cost-effective for them to live in the community than in detention centres.
