Nat Barr is left visibly distressed and disgusted after making a shocking discovery while on live TV

Nat Barr has been left shocked after discovering murderers, rapists and child molesters released from immigration detention will be able to sue the government for millions.

Political Editor for Seven News Mark Riley told the Sunrise host that even the most perverted asylum seekers had the right to sue taxpayers for 'millions' over unlawful incarceration after the High Court ruled their detention had been unconstitutional.

'The government can't put these people back into detention, at least until the High Court releases its full reasons for that rather surprising decision last week,' he said.

'The people who have now been released have the ability to sue the government and remember, the government doesn't have any money, taxpayers have money, so they can sue taxpayers for millions of dollars for illegal incarceration.'

'Really? For the time they've been in?' an obviously shocked Barr replied.

'They now have rights under Australian law to sue taxpayers for millions of dollars of compensation.

'Murderers, rapists, child abusers, all the rest of them on equal standing. That is the law,' Mr Riley said.

Barr responding saying: 'Wow. Including the paedophile who raped the 10-year-old boy, the murderer, the rapist. This is horrendous.' 

The shock development comes as the federal government confirms it will introduce new laws to parliament this week that will 'ensure community safety' with measures such as ankle bracelets and curfews used to monitor those released. 

Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil said the tough news laws would introduce very strict visa conditions that would keep the community safe. 

'These conditions are very significant,' she told reporters in Canberra on Thursday. 

'They include the ability of the Commonwealth to impose ankle monitoring bracelets on people who have been released from detention.

'They include the power for the commonwealth to impose very strict curfews on people who have been released from detention. 

'Those are two of a number of new conditions.'

Ms O'Neil said that for the first time, there would be criminal sanctions imposed on those who broke visa conditions as well as the possibility of jail terms. 

'So for the people who are released from detention, we did not want to let these people out of detention, but we have a simple message for them,' she said. 

'We will set the strictest possible conditions for you. If you, if you do not follow them, you will end up back in jail.'

It comes after Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan argued asylum seekers released into the community should be immediately returned to detention.

'There is one reason why all these people were being detained, and that's because they have failed the character test,' he said. 

'We need to get them back into custody, and we need to get them back into custody as soon as we possibly can.'

However, Ms O'Neil was quick to pour water on the suggestion. 

'The idea that it is open to the government to simply legislate away a High Court decision is not how our constitution works,' she told Seven on Wednesday.

In a joint statement, Ms O'Neil and Home Affairs Minister Andrew Giles confirmed the legislation will be introduced to parliament on Thursday. 

'Community safety remains the utmost priority of the Australian government, which is taking further action in response to the recent High Court decision we strongly opposed,' the statement read.

'Starting well before the [High Court decision], we have been working through these complex issues to ensure community safety.

'The government will introduce and seek to pass this legislation [today] to further respond to the High Court's decision.'
