The High Court has ruled that the use of ankle monitoring devices and curfews for immigration detainees is unconstitutional. This decision follows the Federal Government’s previous attempt to impose these measures after the NZYQ case, which resulted in the release of over 80 ex-detainees. A Papua New Guinea citizen’s legal challenge led to the recent ruling, which reflects ongoing concerns over released detainees breaching visa conditions.
