manage these dangerous men to keep our community safe?

These are the same supports that we would expect for anyone
released from an immigration centre into the community; they are subject to
ongoing programs and protocols. The seven detainees who are subject to
reportable orders under WA police programs will obviously not represent a serious
drag on resources, as it is just the normal course
of events that we have to undertake actions of these sorts. As I said, the vast
majority of these former detainees will return to the east coast where
they have family or friends or where they previously resided and so they will
no longer be an issue for WA police.
