| The incoming immigration minister, Chris Bowen, admits there are pressures on Australia's network of detention centres but denies the system is failing to cope with the number of asylum seekers waiting to be processed.
Yesterday Mr Bowen defended Labor's asylum-seeker policy amid claims the number being held in various facilities was well above capacity.
There are almost 5000 asylum seekers in detention.
Mr Bowen has acknowledged there are pressures on the existing immigration detention facilities, but said the system was coping: ''I am advised that the department's detention network is appropriately accommodating asylum seekers and other compliance clients.''
