The point remains that it should have been a trigger to ensure the Department developed proper protocols and governance arrangements for emergency accommodation. Clearly, as Ms Buckley mentioned, people who have come here have been left at the behest of others who have shown total disregard and disrespect for their basic physiological needs and human rights. For anyone to be thrown around like that is a disgrace. As Senator Conway mentioned, there was not only one incident. There are others, about which people have expressed concern. What I want to know is what are we doing to formalise standards, governance arrangements and protocols for emergency accommodation providers.
