Terror red alert at Inverbrackie Detention Centre The security gate at the Inverbrackie Detention Centre for asylum seekers near Woodside, SA. Picture: Patrick Gorbunovs. A SUSPECTED terrorist wanted by Interpol lived at Inverbrackie with his family for about nine months, federal Parliament heard on Tuesday. The Egyptian man, who was the subject of an Interpol "red notice," was moved to the high-security detention centre at Villawood, in Sydney, in April. The Opposition said the man was secured by what was "essentially a pool fence" - and warned of other possible security breaches. Immigration Department secretary Martin Bowles told a Senate estimates committee the man arrived in May 2012 with his family and underwent the normal ASIO and department processes before being moved to Inverbrackie after two or three months. It was not brought to the department's attention ... that this person was an Egyptian national with an Interpol red notice? Liberal senator Michaelia Cash asked. Red notices have previously been issued for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. "Not specifically," Mr Bowles said. Senator Cash also asked about a Sri Lankan man suspected of murder who was released into the community before later being taken to Villawood and a suspected Iranian drug smuggler who is now in a mental health facility. Opposition customs and border protection spokesman Michael Keenan said the Egyptian man would have been kept in by a "pool fence" at the Adelaide Hills detention centre. "The idea he would have spent almost a year within such a low-security environment, from which he could easily have escaped ... represents a serious breach of our national security," Mr Keenan said. There were two escapes from Inverbrackie between July last year and February this year, one attempted escape, and a total of 16 security breaches. Jamie Briggs, the Liberal member for Mayo which covers the Adelaide Hills, said the Egyptian man's case gave lie to the claim that Inverbrackie was low risk, and said the Coalition was committed to closing it. Chairman of the Inverbrackie Good Neighbour Council Allen McMahon said the fact they had picked up the man showed the system was working. "Most people there are family units and if youlook at the amount going through there's only a couple who have failed security tests," he said. The Coalition attacked Prime Minister Julia Gillard over her government's border security record in Parliament yesterday. In return, Ms Gillard accused the Opposition of "truly disgraceful" fear-mongering, and declared it was "one of the new lows in Australian politics." "I trust (Opposition Leader Tony Abbott) will not continue down this ugly path," she said.
