OZschwitz gulag: Reopening of Curtin, the most notorious detention centre

As panic over boat people grips Kevin Rudd, Russell Skelton looks at the reopening of Curtin, the most notorious detention centre.

A refugee woman pushes her 12-year-old son with cerebral palsy in a tiny infant's stroller over a rocky path in the remote Curtin detention centre. When she reaches the accommodation hut the woman must lift her son on to the bed, as there is no winch and nobody to help. She does this day in and day out for a year.

Only when complaints are made to the Immigration Department is she supplied with a wheelchair.

Elsewhere in Curtin's Charlie compound a lone mother of the Sabian Mandaean faith who shares quarters with 43 Muslim men lives with her daughter in fear of being raped for four months. Complaints made by Amnesty to Immigration authorities that she had been sexually assaulted and harassed were initially ignored. An independent investigation later found immigration officials failed to adequately protect the woman and her daughter and ordered their department to pay her $15,000 in compensation for the months of trauma.
