Current Events > Immigration detainee not given new food because maggots 'just on the vegetables'

(+) Yeah! (+)

An immigration detainee served a contaminated meal was not offered an alternative because the maggots were just on the vegetables, a report by the federal watchdog has found.
The claims by the commonwealth ombudsman which are denied by the Australian Border Force come in a report into conditions inside federal detention centres as part of Australias obligations under a UN anti-torture treaty the optional protocol to the convention against torture (Opcat).
The report made 18 recommendations to the Department of Home Affairs and detailed several incidents, including how fire extinguishers were deployed against immigration detainees on Christmas Island last year in a planned and systematic use of force.
