Australians protest state terrorism against refugees

[s28]

The Aussie Government are inhumane wretches. The white settler mentality which creates so much hate in the world whether it's the White settlers in the US or the British community in Ulster or Zionist Jews in Israel are all parts of the same basic ideology based in white supremacy and exceptionalism

Its hard to tell the moderate muslims from the extremists.

Stick the topic for once please. You have plenty opportunity to rant about Muslims.

Shouldn't you be joining the protest with some good Aussies who see this as inhumane?

Disgusting by the Australian government to cut water and other supplies to a desperate people.

The Australian attitude to refugees is depressing. They are such a wealthy country with a relatively low population (and has a vast area) yet they accept such small numbers of refugees each year and even the ones they do accept are treated poorly.

Then again this is a country which has an annual celebration to mark the start of the genocide of indigenous Australians so their refugee policy isn’t a surprise.

It's a second world country at best.

Australia will stop detaining asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea (PNG) at the end of December, the two countries said on Wednesday, as Canberra shuts one of two remote Pacific detention centres that have been criticised by the United Nations.

Under Australia's hardline immigration policies, asylum seekers attempting to reach the country by boat have since 2013 been sent to detention centres on PNG's Manus Island and the South Pacific island nation of Nauru.

"The Australian government regional processing contracts in PNG will cease on 31 December 2021 and will not be renewed," a joint statement read.

PNG had been pressing Australia to close the centre.

At its peak, Australia detained about 1,000 men on Manus Island and while most have left, advocates said just over 100 remain as they either await resettlement to a third country or have had their asylum seeker applications refused.

Australia said those who will remain can transfer to Nauru or stay in PNG where they can seek citizenship.

Australia and Nauru earlier this year extended an agreement to allow asylum seekers to continue being held on the tiny island.

The United Nations and aid agencies have criticised conditions on Manus and Nauru, citing human rights abuses and called for their closure.

Shocking (and illegal) conditions to keep human beings in, from an apparently first-world, Western country. West = humane values, right?
