An additional $467 million in federal funding has been set aside to relieve crowding in Australia’s immigration detention network after international border closures put a pause on deportations, budget papers have revealed.
The federal budget, handed down by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on Tuesday night, includes $202 million to be spent on increasing the capacity of onshore facilities and Christmas Island’s North West Point detention centre before the end of the financial year, and an additional $263 million in 2021-22.
Deportations of non-citizens have stalled during the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting the government to reopen the North West Point facility in August to free up space in the onshore system.

Stupid reasons people are allowed into Oz The man who caused the WA lockdown was allowed back in from India after his wedding. It’s not the only stupid exemption we allowed, says Riah Matthews.
Opinion by Riah Matthews OPINION Australia s international borders have been closed for 403 days. Deciding to shut itself off from the rest of the world on March 20, 2020 was undoubtedly the best decision made by the Federal Government in our fight against COVID-19. It has saved lives and given us the ability to live relatively normal lives within our own borders. Indeed, Australia has been the envy of the world. As the pandemic ravaged China, Europe, the US, South America and now India, we have been able to go to the beach, watch sports games and even go to concerts. Our new normal is a hell of a lot better than most.
