Dean Allison go through the news and found the
report -

• That report of yours was seen by many, including
  me, as one that was, if it was to be done, should
  have been done under the previous government when
  there were 2000 children in detention, but you
  chose to do it afterwards, and that made it very
  political, Ms Bishop said.

• Professor Triggs defended her position and said
  the commission operated based on the rule of law.
• My position is not a political one. We work
  according to the law at the Australian Human
  Rights Commission and we try to ensure that our
  evidence is accurate, and well-founded.
• Of course, many of our findings and
  recommendations are interpreted in political
  ways, she said.
