The Australian government's decision to resume offshore processing has met with domestic political opposition from the Greens, and a controversial decision by the Australian government in July 2015 to make reporting of abuse within the centre illegal prompted staff at those centres to begin a campaign of civil disobedience.
A decisión do goberno de renovar o procesamento en territorio estranxeiro enfrentouno coa oposición política interna dos Verdes, e a controvertida decisión do goberno australiano en xullo de 2015 denunciando abusos dentro do centro de detención, provocou que o persoal deses centros comezara unha campaña de desobediencia civil.
