As at 2 September 2005, there were 91 women in immigration detention.

On 2 May 2000, the complainant was detained in immigration detention for purposes of removal.

Of these, 69 women were in immigration detention facilities and 22 were in community based arrangements.

On 7 June 2002, the Immigration and Naturalization Service took custody of Mr. Ali, charged him as removable under immigration laws because of his previous conviction, placed him in removal proceedings and transferred him to immigration detention.

The Australian Government has a strong commitment to responding to the needs of women and children in immigration detention.

With regard to detention of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, the Working Group urges Governments to ensure that the right to challenge the lawfulness of detention is, in practice, guaranteed to any foreign national detained under their immigration law.

On 17 June 2005, the Prime Minister announced a number of changes to both the law and the handling of matters relating to people in immigration detention.

Such altercations between authorities competent in immigration matters repeatedly occurred decisions favourable to Mr. Ali were later set aside by other authorities but he remained in detention.

The Working Group conveys its appreciation to the Government for having submitted information reporting that the above mentioned three persons are no longer held in immigration detention.

Finally, the Working Group invites States to guarantee the effectiveness of the right to challenge the lawfulness of detention by any foreign national detained under immigration laws.

Bill C 31, Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act , aims to amend Canadian immigration and refugee law.

Finally, it would adopt an immigration policy that encouraged the immigration of members of key professions.

It is the Government's intention that where primary assessment is being made, removal is imminent or conditions of alternative detention have been breached, families (including fathers) will be housed in a housing project in the capital city of their prior residence (where available) rather than in an immigration detention centre.

Labor unions, once known for their skepticism toward immigration, are increasingly in favor of pro immigration reforms.

The Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs now has a non compellable, non delegable power to specify alternative arrangements for a person's detention and the conditions that will apply to that person.
