Australian politicians have rushed to condemn the mistreatment of juvenile offenders in the Northern Territory's Don Dale detention centre after the ABC's Four Corners aired footage of teenage boys being sprayed with tear gas while being held in isolation.
Prime minister Malcolm Turnbull swiftly called for a royal commission into the revelations to "get all the facts out" and "expose the cultural problems" that "allowed this type of mistreatment to occur".
But the condemnation of the mistreatment of children doesn't extend to kids being held in Australia's offshore detention centres.
1. “We have here a very troubling state of affairs where clearly there has been mistreatment of young people," Turnbull said of the Four Corners footage.
The same could be said of immigration detention. The department of immigration said it had received 15 reports of sexual assault against minors detained on Nauru from 2012 to 2015.
Transfield, the company that ran the Nauru detention centre in 2015, tabled evidence to a senate inquiry into the regional processing centre that showed that there had been 30 cases of child abuse involving staff and 37 involving other detainees.
Paediatrician Dr Karen Zwi told the ABC's 7.30 in February that she had treated a five-year-old boy who was allegedly raped.
"He actually began to self harm," she said. "These kids feel to me like they've been through a mincing machine. They've had one traumatic event after another."
2. "This is not Australia," said deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce about Monday night's program.
3. "A community is judged by the way it treats its children," said Northern Territory chief minister Adam Giles.
Last year, a report by the United Nations found Australia's immigration detention regime breached international law and that men, women and children being held had their right to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment violated.
4. "This national shame demands national action," tweeted opposition leader Bill Shorten.
Children interviewed during the National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention spoke of the hopelessness that they felt about the future, the lack of certainty about a timeframe for the assessment of their refugee claims and "the fear of being sent to Nauru or Manus Island".
Although the last of the children in mainland detention have been released on immigration minister Peter Dutton's watch, 50 are still in facilities on Nauru and 317 are living in community detention.
5. "Children in detention should be treated humanely wherever they are," said Turnbull.
6. "It is not how we treat children, it is unacceptable," said NT opposition leader Michael Gunner.
"34% of children in [immigration] detention were assessed as having mental health disorders at levels of seriousness that were comparable with children receiving outpatient mental health services in Australia," an Australian Human Rights Commission report noted.
7. "We need to expose the cultural problems, the administrative problems that allowed this type of mistreatment to occur," Turnbull said.
Offshore detention of asylum seekers - including children - enjoys bipartisan support in Australia.
