Description:

The United Nations has cancelled a trip to inspect Australian detainment centres after it was denied full access to detention and mental health centres.

A planned visit last year was suspended after the Subcommittee on the Prevention of Torture was prevented from visiting several jails and detainment centres.

New South Wales has said it required more funding from the federal Government to comply with international detainment obligations.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Australia is only one of two nations to have their inspections outright cancelled, the other being Rwanda, and it's not a good look for the region.
