Secrecy provisions lifted for detention centre health workers
- Description:
- The Federal Government has quietly lifted its ban on health professionals speaking publicly about abuse at the Australian-funded immigration processing centres on Manus Island and Nauru. Doctors, nurses, counsellors and other health workers no longer risk a two year jail term if they speak out. Refugee advocates are claiming a win, although they've been quick to point out the restrictions continue to apply to others such as teachers or lawyers.
