We have discussed how asylum seekers can make complaints to the system, but what mechanism do the organisations before us have for making complaints if they are not satisfied with how matters are being handled or they are being treated and how well does it work? If they do not have a mechanism, what would they recommend? If comparisons with international best practice were possible, would the witnesses suggest we research any particular matter or model so as to inform our deliberations?

The detail of the witnesses' evidence is fantastic and has highlighted important issues. We will be quite busy with our report.
