Scott Morrison and Tony Abbott must come clean with the Australian people as to what is going on at Manus Island PNG. Terrible violence broke out at the Island detention centre on Monday night. Details of what happened are still emerging. But what we do know is that 77 people were injured and one man, tragically, was killed.
Amnesty International reports as a country, we’re denying asylum seekers on Manus Island things required for basic human dignity -- things like shoes, adequate drinking water, soap and sanitation, privacy, proper healthcare and contact with loved ones. This is not what Australians do to other people. Even in times of war Australia has treated POW’s with dignity and humanity, that is the Australian way.
Despite the politics of the whole asylum seeker issue I am shocked to hear about the conditions for detainees at the Manus Island detention centre. I am shocked to hear about the violence and death that has occurred there recently.
I ask what Australia is becoming. If any of these allegations are true this Manus Island gulag must be closed. I am sickened by the way Tony Abbott has been "bragging" about the very poor conditions at the PNG detention centre. Morrison the minister must take his ministerial responsibility and stop trying to buck pass the issue off to the PNG authorities, as something they will have to deal with, it is Australia’s responsibility!

Paul1405,
Where do you suggest we put those people ? Let them into Australia ? Will ou be paying for it ?
Why not tell us what happened on Manus ? You say terrible things happened but you don't tell who started the trouble & how ? Aren't you speculating to soon ? What if it was the asylum seekers themselves who caused the trouble. I'm only speculating but my guess is the asylum seekers see themselves as having failed in their mission to come to Australia & now they're getting pi$$ed off.

As you are aware Paul I want the boats stopped, and knew Abbott would do that.
This mornings Age has the best editorial on it I ever read.
But it, well written as it is avoids a truth.
Had the boat people there listened to warnings and not come we would have no riots/incidents.
Manus is highlighting those refugee advocates who are trying to sabotage our boarder protection system.
Note how many detainees rang so many advocates , and honestly you will see my point.
Now I step out on thin ice, but only in the minds of some who look at the numbers but not the end result.
Malaysian Plan includes a fast trip back to there, not off shore or on shore processing .
And even a glance at the cost saving in that plan, and a regional solution shows big gains for us.
Too it ends the need for worrying, truly concerning, Government need to hide the truth from us.

Not sure I agree, but Abbott,s Government is close to an inevitable UNHCR verbal, and international bashing.
Paul Australians in the end will continue to want the boats stopped, some want the boats loaded and sent back!

<<Where do you suggest we put those people ?>>

Back in their boats.

The Australian navy is acting as pirates, kidnapping people out at sea then locking them up.

What are our ships doing that far in the first place?
If they were not around, then they would not have to come to "rescue" the boats.

Is Christmas Island the problem? then give it independence or return it to Singapore!

Devotional allegiance to the Adept-Realizer, or Spiritual Master, is the greatest function of existence and the single advantage not only of human beings but of all beings.

The devotional relationship to the Spiritual Master is participation in a unique function that appears in the realm of cosmic (or conditional) Nature...we need stop pushing new leaders..that betray,..their own people

and thus hide in others lands
you put the cake..on the table

Yes well, Malaysia is where those people came from and Malaysia is where they should be returned to. Indonesia is just a launching pad.
I did not know there was so many on Manus. Then again we are not allowed to know.
