This week two media reports that highlight the mental anguish caused by the Australian government contracting Serco to “manage” its refugee crisis.
This story on Radio National Breakfast deals with the remote centre in Leonora, with woefully under-trained or untrained Serco staff having to deal with traumatised asylum seekers.
On ABC AM, Australia’s Human Rights Commissioner slams the equally remote Curtin detention centre for its lack of appropriate facilities and support for detainees.
