"Two of the people were Australian citizens and one was a long-term permanent resident.

"The fact that the department of immigration was called in as part of the solution raises some worrying questions about national identity." Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone has apologised to Mr T for her department's bungling.

Professor McMillan last night indicated his investigation of more than 200 other detention cases of concern was unlikely to throw up any more instances of mistreatment.
