Mr Danby
asked the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, upon notice, on 14 February 2002:
(1) What is the current status of the inquest into the death of an asylum seeker in 2001 who allegedly jumped off a basketball pole whilst under detention at the Maribyrnong Detention Centre.
(2) Were there any witnesses to the alleged incident.
(3) Is the Government proposing a coronial inquiry into the death.
(4) What measures have been taken at the Maribyrnong Detention Centre to ensure a similar incident does not happen again.
Mr Ruddock (Minister for Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Reconciliation)
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
(1) The Department is currently awaiting the outcome of the Coroner's inquest into the death of the detainee who allegedly jumped off a basketball pole at Maribyrnong Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) on 22 December 2000. A hearing date is yet to be scheduled.
(2) The incident was witnessed by some ACM personnel, as well as a number of detainees at the Centre.
(3) Any deaths that occur in immigration detention are referred to the relevant State Coroner for investigation. It is expected that the Victorian State Coroner will advise the Department of its findings following the inquest hearing.
(4) The basketball pole was removed and volleyball substituted as a recreational activity. ACM reviewed all aspects of the IDC for any similar structure that could enable a copy-cat attempt. None was identified.
