Calls intensify for a Royal Commission into immigration detention

While all eyes have been on former Prime Minister Scott Morrison and his inept defence for his actions in the Robodebt scheme, more pressure has been mounting on the current leader of the Liberal Party, Peter Dutton. The latest public demands for accountability have led to renewed calls for a Royal Commission into immigration detention practices, an issue that has stirred outcry and ignited a heated debate within federal parliament.

The impetus for this renewed push for a Royal Commission stems from a series of revelations that have surfaced over the past weeks that the Home Affairs Department, under the purview of Peter Dutton, entered into significant contracts with a businessman who was under investigation for allegations of corruption and bribery. This revelation, combined with comments made by Dutton himself, has only exacerbated the controversy surrounding his tenure and actions during his time in office.
