Baxter detainees go on strike
Inmates at South Australia's Baxter Detention Centre have gone on strike.
The Immigration Department has confirmed that a number of detainees from
one compound are refusing to do any work.
An Immigration spokeswoman says she does not know their reasons, but
discussions are being held to address any concerns.
She says Baxter's management is currently revamping its "meaningful
activities" program, to create a system where all detainees are allowed
to do voluntary work.
