Morning news bulletin in Arabic.
The federal government says immigration detention centres in Melbourne and Sydney can be closed as the number of boat arrivals has dropped under its policies.
In a statement on Wednesday, Refugee Action Coalition spokesperson Ian Rintoul called it a "meaningless announcement".
"The fact is that the government has increased detention capacity with new compounds being opened at Yongah Hill, and a high detention facility opening in the Melbourne Immigration Transit Accommodation, to replace Maribynong," Mr Rintoul said.
