Australia's detention of migrants ruled illegal

What comes next for migrants and refugees being held in Australia's detention camps? The Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has ruled that a camp on its island of Manus is unconstitutional. The company that runs the camp, Broadspectrum, is currently fighting off a hostile takeover bid by Ferrovial, the Spanish infrastructure company that owns London's Heathrow Airport. Roger Hearing speaks to Aaron Patrick, deputy editor of The Australian Financial Review and Shen Narayanasamy from the Australian group No Business In Abuse, who have been campaigning to close the camps.
