Government could pay compensation to almost 2,000 detainees over treatment

And isnt this just dandy, not only have we paid (well we dont really know how much our govt has spent keeping these people out of australia) huge amounts to keep them on manus, now we may be compenating them for their misstreatment!

This government has lost the plot. It's sure to lose the next election.

Imagine Mr Whiney Potatohead Bill Shorten as PM.

Maybe that's the plot!

I'd rather Bill as PM than these idiots currently running the show.. All the infighting, seems to happen too often with our political parties. Bolt will be telling Abbot to keep up the good work, Pine (thunderbirds) is running amok, but according to Malcolm all is harmonious.

lets just sit back and watch. Remember Trump is President, anything can happen and it usually does.

Lets all thank our lucky stars we are fortunate enougth to live here and not been born in one of these countries these poor souls that find themselves at manus island were born. We all need to show a bit more compassion.
