Question

summarise Plaintiff M68/2015 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection (2016) 257 CLR 42 in simple words in one paragraph

Answer 1

Plaintiff M68/2015 v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection was a landmark case in which the High Court of Australia ruled that the government's policy of detaining asylum seekers offshore was lawful. The court held that the Australian government had the legal authority to detain asylum seekers in offshore processing centers and that the detention did not amount to a breach of international law. The decision upheld the government's controversial policy of offshore processing and underscored the broad powers of the executive branch in matters of immigration and national security.
