The Adults Are In Charge

Immigration Department says it accidentally published asylum seeker personal details on website

The personal details of asylum seekers held in detention in Australia have been accidentally published on the Immigration Department website.

The Guardian Australia has reported the privacy breach, which it says involves information about almost 10,000 adults and children.

The Immigration and Border Protection Department said in a statement that "this information was never intended to be in the public domain".

The database included the full names, nationalities, location in Australia, arrival date and boat arrival information, according to The Guardian.

"The department acknowledges that the file was vulnerable to unauthorised access," the Immigration statement reads.

"The file has been removed and the department is investigating how this occurred to ensure that it does not happen again."

The Guardian says the database listed every single person held in a mainland detention facility, on Christmas Island, or in a community detention program.

The database included a "large number" of children, the media organisation says.

In the report, the Guardian says it has decided not to identify the location of the data.

The Immigration Department has previously argued against the release of personal information, saying it could put asylum seekers at risk.

The ABC has requested comment from Immigration Minister Scott Morrison and Prime Minister Tony Abbott's office.

Stable, predictable, reasonable and resonsible government, steady as she goes. Say what you'll do and do what you say, that's Mr Abbott's motto. And thank heavens for that.

Over the next three years, should we win the election, an incoming Coalition government will do exactly what we've said we'll do.

We will be a no surprises, no excuses government, because you are sick of nasty surprises and lame excuses from people that you have trusted with your future...

It's performance, not promises, that will earn your respect; it's actions, not words, that you are looking for.

Tony Abbott

Exactly, how are we going to oppress them if we dont know who they are?

How are we going to know whose house to write "F..K off, we're full" on ?

The government should be trying to make it easier for us, not harder.

Yeah, great.

So long as you are a rabid, racist redneck happy to break the law.

God grant me the patience to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and, above all, the wisdom to tell the difference.

I'll bet it was a disgruntled left-wing public servant who despises what the department he/she works for is helping the new government do. Tough sh!t. Public servants don't get to decide which government policies they'll assist or damage - they're supposed to do their work free of political bias. If they can't do that, if they can't behave professionally then they should just quit.
