Simple solution, take them in small batches to Darwin, hand them travel
documents to either their first safe country, Turkey, Iran, or wherever
or their national country and a one way plane ticket.
If the destination country tries to refuse entry, just refuse to accept
them back.
The airlines will refuse to accept them as they have no visa.
They may end up living in the transit lounge for a while, but they
should have thought of that before they bought tickets to Indonesia
and destroyed their passports.
They could be returned to Indonesia as that was their last port of call.

Noone attempting to arrive by boat is Australia's responsibility. It is made quite clear that people can seek asylum only in countries they first arrive in, and there is no requirement for them to be granted asylum. None of these boats has come directly to Australia, and the only reason for the mess and confusion of the PNG/Manus Island situation is the lack of determination by the Australian government to adhere to international law. The weakness of successive Australian governments has encouraged the bleeding hearts, the do-gooders, the Fifth Columnists and looney - left, to perpetrate the LIE that these invaders are our responsibility. One of the few things Australia has left in its favour are our ocean borders. But even this advantage has been blown by politicians too gutless to repel illegal arrivals. It's bad enough that the stupid hausfrau, Merkel, flouted international law because she didn't have strong national borders; it is stupid beyond belief when really stupid Australian politicians cannot get rid of would be invaders with our natural, watery barriers.

meanwhile millions wait to come here legally. No outrage from the lefties. They seem to favour tyrants and economic refugees.

Dear Paul,

Who is responsible for asylum seekers detained on
Manus? According to Fact Check - both PNG and
Australia are due to the agreements they've both
signed.

Manus Province Tourism

Paradise in the Tropics.

Things to see;

Lorengau: Most of the town’s main services and the market are near the wharf, while the provincial government buildings and main accommodation are a kilometre east, along the edge of the harbour.

Loniu Passage and Cave: One great experience is climbing through the large caverns of the Loniu cave. The cave is just 30 seconds of the main road at Loniu, Los Negros Island, about 10 minutes by vehicle from Lorengau Town. It is a limestone cave system there has several large chambers.

War relics: Manus was the site of a huge Allied Naval base during World War II. Rusting war vehicles, old wharves, old airstrips, bomb shelters, pontoons, bullets, old guns, helmets and World War II boats, can be found scattered on the various islands of Manus. Places to visit include the Lombrum Naval Base where you can find anti-aircraft guns, old hangers and General MacArthur’s Head Quarters and more in the surrounding areas. Momote Airport and the bushes of the Los Negros Island are littered with war surplus.

Culture: The Manus Provincial Show is held over three days in late August. Alternatively, you may be able to watch traditional dancing at Buyang, a village at the centre of the island.

Things to Do

Diving and snorkelling: Most of the north coast is bordered with a reef and the excellent visibility allows great Papua New Guinea diving and snorkelling.

Swimming: For a freshwater dip during your Papua New Guinea holiday, the best place is the waterfall and swimming hole, about 5 kilometres up the Lorengau River from town. Stunning swimming beaches can be found at Salamei on Rarah Island and Tulu on the north coast west of Lorengau.

Island hopping: All the islands of Manus are interesting. Some are large and have large populations living on them.

Cycling in Manus: The roads in Manus, by local standards, are in great condition and are sealed mainly in town and along the way to Momote airport.

Accommodation: A variety of hotels, lodge style accommodation and village guest houses are available.

Paul,

Anyone comparing anyone else to Hitler is usually a retard trying to shut the argument down because they have no reasoned response.

The reality is that the government still has several options other than bringing the illegals to Aus including shipping them to Nauru which has been slowly emptying.

Anyone remembering the massive loss of over 1200 men, women and children due to the Labor/Greens disgraceful border control incompetence cannot in good conscience let it happen again
