United Nations Association president and former Labor Senator MARGARET REYNOLDS saysLabor should have the courage to admit its policy to detain asylum seekers was wrong.
Ms REYNOLDS, who was in the Senate when Labor introduced the policy in government,says few people realised at the time what the policy would lead to.
She's told ABC radio one difference between then and now is that Labor had controlover the management of detention centres and people weren't kept as long.
Labor MPs and Senators are set for a rowdy caucus meeting in Canberra this morningdue to a reported split on the party's new immigration policy.
