They will not be in detention centres. They will be in accommodation and free to come and go. We will not put barbed wire, fences or security around them. There will be a designated centre to make sure that we can apply this in the quickest way possible. That is what this procedure is about. If somebody comes without documentation, with false documentation or is highlighted as a security risk, they will go into this procedure. This also applies in a country where the approval rate is less than 20%. The border procedure is very specific. Other people will go through a separate process. They still have the right to appeal and go through the process; things will just happen much more quickly.
