THE federal government will defend its right to keep refugees in indefinite detention by claiming a High Court judgment in relation to one Sri Lankan asylum seeker does not apply to boat people.

Fifty-five asylum seekers are being held in detention indefinitely because they have been found to be genuine refugees, so they cannot be returned to their home countries, but ASIO has given them an adverse security assessment, so they cannot be settled in Australia.
