Over 4500 asylum seekers remain imprisoned in detention, including over 500 children. Chris Bowen’s announcement that 100 detainees a month will be released on bridging visas will not see the detention system dismantled. Since then, just 257 asylum seekers have received them, while a further 1078 have arrived by boat. There are now detention facilities in every Australian state and territory other than the ACT–including Villawood detention centre here in Sydney.
