Prof McMillan said one of the department's biggest failures was in the identification process, with officers not even using fingerprinting to identify Mr T.

"The identification inquiries were ad hoc and lacked any sense of continuity or urgency," he said.

"There is ample evidence to support the view that some compliance officers believe that it is the detainee's responsibility to identify themselves.

"This reverse onus culture is especially inappropriate in a case such as this, where the detainee has limited capacity to meet this expectation." The immigration department has now apologised to Mr T.

"This is a sad case for all concerned," DIMA secretary Andrew Metcalfe said.

"It highlights the difficulties the department, law enforcement agencies and others face dealing with people who have a serious mental illness." He said the department was addressing the reforms recommended by the ombudsman, including the need for immigration officers to interview detainees as soon as possible.

"These significant and meaningful changes show the department's recognition of its responsibilities and its commitment to meeting those responsibilities," Mr Metcalfe said.
