Pretty pointless distinction, the issue is their treatment by the Australian government not the environment they're leaving.

Not really, illegal immigrants are committing a crime. Treating them as criminals is to be expected.

In any case, TFA failed to reveal any major issues with their treatment.

It is an incredibly important distinction, those found not to be valid are asked to return to their country of origin, how many of the people in these centers have been processed and refuse to leave?

Their status is x or it's not. Regardless they must be afforded basic human rights including legal representation that could see their status changed.

Legal representation isnt a human right.

Additionally I haven't seen anything to suggest that the government is denying them from taking on their own legal council?
