Dana_Adele How many more corruption scandals are we going to be confronted with in the last few days of this parliament? Transparency international is going to have a field day with us in its next report.

AFP says Home Affairs Department to blame for Hakeem al-Araibi arrest | Sky News AustraliaAFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin says the Home Affairs Department is to blame for the arrest of Melbourne based refugee Hakeem al-Araibi.\n\nMr al-Araibi was arrested and detained for 11 weeks after an Interpol red notice was incorrectly issued.\n\nThe footballer faced possible extradition to Bahrain to serve a 10-year prison sentence for an alleged vandalism offence.\n\nCommissioner Colvin told a senate estimates in Canberra that the AFP was to be blamed for the arrest, saying the AFP were unaware of his visa status due Border Force shortcomings. \n\n\n So he was thrown under the bus by our govt. It will be interesting to see if he sues. And presumably for Paladin as well. Too much power concentrated with Pezzullo and no oversight by Dutton. Needs a clean out Pezzulo's mega structure faulty

Small security firm given less than a week to bid for huge Manus Island contractPaladin, which until last week had its head office as a beach shack on Kangaroo Island, was awarded contracts worth up to $423 million to provide security for refugees. Bit late to report this. It's been all over twitter for two days. What has happened to proper journalism in this country? If it takes two days to fact check you need more resources... Or to reassign them. Try harder! Not only late but clearly a little fluff piece trying to limit the fallout from the PaladinAffair. Lots more detail than this article provides, has been available to twitterers for the past couple days. Verifiable sources have details going back to 2017. Thanks anyway. Looking forward to the public announcement of your return to journalism...

Peter Dutton confirms medivac laws do not apply to new arrivals | Sky News AustraliaHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed new laws fast-tracking medical evacuations for asylum seekers will not apply to new arrivals to Manus and Nauru.\n\nThe controversial laws passed the Senate 36 votes to 34 on Wednesday, in a humiliating defeat for the coalition a day after suffering a historic loss in the lower house.\n\nThe laws, which only apply to around 1000 asylum seekers currently on Manus Island and Nauru, give doctors more say in recommending medical transfers to Australia.\n\n\n\n so a new arrival at manus that requires medical assistance won't get it ? absolute rubbish. The flood gate is open. You idiots. For now.... It shouldn't be called medivac, instead it is back door, sicky, queue jumping
