The comprehensive findings from the People's Inquiry will be published in 2007 (see appendix for terms of reference). This first report highlights a range of experiences of asylum seekers in their journey to detention and the detention experience. It has been presented for public information and consideration and will also form part of the final report. The final report will also include information on the processing of asylum claims and the difficulties faced once released from detention.
