An Indigenous Australian man has been languishing for more than three years in immigration detention after an attempt to deport him failed when he was refused entry at the border to Papua New Guinea.

Gus Kuster is effectively stateless – there is no country that acknowledges him as its citizen – and despite being recognised as an Indigenous Australian, he faces indefinite detention.
