Death on Nauru - The death of person who sought asylum in Australia but was exiled offshore for five years is another stain on Australiaˇs national conscience
The death of person who sought asylum in Australia but was exiled offshore for five years is a another bloody stain on Australia’s national conscience, Greens Immigration spokesperson Nick McKim says. “This is yet another life lost due to our country's cruel and inhumane refugee policies," Senator McKim said. "This tragedy was entirely predictable, yet the Liberals and ALP remain in cruel policy lockstep.”
“Australia’s offshore detention system has been a humanitarian calamity and one of the darkest chapters in our country’s story.” “How many more lives need to be lost? How many more shattered hopes and dreams? How many more days of lost hope and yearning for freedom?”
“This is an emergency. Australia’s detention centres on Manus island and Nauru must be evacuated and every woman, man and child immediately brought to Australia so we can try to help them rebuild their lives.”

Monday, 18 June 2018Tragedy? What tragedy? What nonsense without giving reasons and the nature of death. Deceased could have died from falling from having climbed a coconut tree, a heart attack, drowning, etc. Please provide the full story before going off half-cocked. As it stands, emotional claptrap in this instance. I also understand deceased could have returned home, no-one forced him to remain in Nauru. Should have sought asylum in the first country he came to after having "escaped" home country, as per UNHCR definition.

Not non-compassionate but a realist. Put your money (compassion) where your mouth is and offer your home or money to so-called asylum seekers but now duck for cover. It is so easy to be generous and compassionate with other people's (taxpayers') money. Having interviewed UNHCR-identified genuine refugees in various refugee camps in Thailand and Hong Kong, I have no time for queue jumpers who may take up the places of genuine ones who have followed the correct protocol. I suggest they stand in line like everybody else and not try to rort the system.
