Australian PM Anthony Albanese replaces immigration and national security ministers amid detainee release controversy.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has replaced the government ministers responsible for immigration and national security, in response to a landmark court ruling and controversy surrounding the release of over 100 immigration detainees. Clare O'Neil and Andrew Giles have been moved to new portfolios, with Tony Burke taking over both roles to address the scandal-plagued portfolios. The detainees, many convicted of assault, kidnapping, and murder, faced further charges after being released, leading to bad publicity for the Labor government.
