The Albanese government has suffered a major legal blow against its monitoring of NZYQ-affected noncitizens after the high court ruled this morning its ankle monitoring and curfew regime were invalid.
The high court’s chief justice, Stephen Gageler AC, ruled the monitoring conditions imposed on the group of 300-plus noncitizens, often referred to as the NZYQ cohort, who were released from indefinite detention following an earlier ruling in November 2023 were invalid.
Following the release of more than 300 people from detention centres, the government passed laws to impose ankle bracelets and curfew on anyone risking community safety. Those laws were struck down by the high court in November 2024 before the government passed amendments to put them back in place until now.
