Or are they being told there is no hope regardless of their circumstances.

Legality of Manus detention challenged in PNG court

The opposition leader is challenging the legality of the detention centre, saying that it is not illegal to claim asylum therefore is is illegal to detain those seeking asylum.  If this challenge is successful, the centre will have to be closed.  Where will the detainees go then?

You can listen to the interview here:-

It sounds like they are not.

It sounds like all stops are being pulled to stop Australia enforcing border security.

everything I have seen reports that they are being told there is no hope of ever being settled here, bit I suppose everyone could be lying just for the hell of it.

From what I have heard and read, the processing of asylum seekers is non existant on Manus Island.

Seriously Donna? Red Liz Thompson?

Ok. After I laughed my head off and picked it back up off the floor I did have a quick scroll through the "feed" lol.

It's just a repetition of the same sort of repetetive one-two line lefty vitriol posts you make on here.
