Ho hum Serco FOI exclusive

Amazing revelations from a team of crack investigative journalists writing for New Matilda, amongst which:

Serco Hires Untrained Guards

That headline is somewhat misleading in that Serco employs detention centre guards within the requirements of a contract written by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.

Another stunner:

Serco is obliged to provide "tea, coffee, water and biscuits" when detainees have visitors and visiting areas must contain "hot/cold drinks and confectionery vending machines".

Yep, the New Matilda crew, which includes Antony Loewenstein, certainly earned its money in putting together this exclusive report.
