ustralia's mandatory immigration detention regime came into force in 1994.From the outset, the regime has been vigorously opposed by many civil society organisations and some of its aspects have been criticised by Commonwealth Government agencies such as the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) and the Commonwealth Ombudsman's Office.Increasing media scrutiny since 2000 has also had an effect on public opinion (Taylor, 2001).Both the Labor Government, which introduced the regime, and the Liberal/National Coalition Government, which continued it, have sought to respond to political pressure by progressive mitigation of the harshness of the regime without significant change to the fundamental framework.The Prime Minister's announcement of a number of changes to the mandatory detention regime on 17 June 2005 was the most recent bid to ease political pressure in this way (Howard, 2005).
