Manus Island: Morrison concedes he was wrong.

[i-need-a-martini]

So it looks like all of the initial reports that Fairfax were printing were correct:

The death and injuries occurred INSIDE the compound by staff using unlawful force.

Unbelievable. Can you imagine the terror those (unarmed) boys and men must have felt?

Scott Morrison has a very difficult job trying to clean up the mess left by Labor. He said he will not be bullied by vested interests to shutting down Manus or watering down border protection laws like Labor did.

The weak lily livered approach by Labor after they dismantled all the border protection laws  is 55,000 illegal immigrants, 1000 or more drowned at sea nearer to 2000 it's thought, a criminal explosion in Indonesia  and a mushrooming of cost that reaches over $11 billion that will be taken from working Australians to pay off years & years into the future.

So the cacophony of outrage we see on here and the ABC is a political line, nothing to do with anything else.

May I suggest you all join the march of the disappointed to vent then leave the boards to others who have had enough of the hate threads or think of what you're going to do when the budget comes out & the entitlements so many on here think are their rights will be cut.

What is your inference & if you are saying I am another ID spell it out otherwise this activity is against CS values & will be removed if reported.

I have no idea what you mean. No one can know if jones is a CS contributor.

isn't this still about Manus Island and what is happening there?

I think the thread has lost the plot

It looks like the transfer of responsibility from G4S to transfield is in name only.  

The manager (ex Sri lankan Army) stays.

How the hell did he get the job anyway?
