The defence force chief responsible for border protection under the Howard government has slammed the federal government's asylum seeker policy.
Admiral Chris Barrie described detention centres as "jails" and said the policies enacted by Immigration Minister Scott Morrison were a "mess that reflect badly on all of us".
He was speaking at a book launch in Sydney on Thursday.
