How is this news?

A lot of people here treat 'refugee' like it's a dirty word. Disgusting.

Ban all private run out sourced workers centres. In all areas. The libs have taken most public institutions and privatised them to their mates at cheap rates. Then we get this and the aged care, child care , etc siphon the public purse and give us, abuse neglect, substandard 💯

DrewPavlou One Bitch invader less. Great news.

I am sure the people of west Kimberley, Australia, would love them in our country. Why don't we leaned them to a community that needs help? Workers.

Well he was a 102ys old not bad even in detention, seriously why do we have people still in detention centres

I remember embracing togetherness in our community back home. We had them all. And pleased they were that they married into our community. I hope Broome Town always retains that. Embracing people from a long way from home. This country is not safe anymore for anyone.

How and why is Activist Ian rintoul privy to such information ?

He should have been deported years ago. He was only country shopping for the best ecconmic benefits and handouts.

One less 🤲🏻

3144 Australian males committed suicide in 2021. No reasons or prevention tools from the tax payer funded abc.

Labor is no better than LNP

Deport them back, stop wasting tax payers money

How they gonna spin this one?

Where are all condemnations from so-called international community? Where are all sanctions and laws similar to Magnitsky? Any one calling to ban Australian athletes from all international competitions?

Sure they will have another replacement for him.

We all get the ol 'tap on the sholder' from the grim reaper sooner or later ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably a criminal that was fighting deportation after being released from gaol...

Sad he thought he just wanted to live a normal lifestyle

Covid ? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thousands die every day so why keep escalating Aboriginal and illegal immigrant deaths when far more white people are dying.

Disgusting. Close this crap down and let them go.

Worked there once, the most depressing place I’ve ever been to.

Either let them stay or send them back don't lock them up forever and ever that is just bs stupid gov bs

More shocking news from our detention centre 🤬

So what ?

Isn’t that the goal?

How long has he been staying there? The news article is scarce in details. The right to seek asylum is universal and this country's historical treatment of asylum seekers is embarrassing.

Why are we still doing this?

Why does this never happen to Anglo or European or Caucasian refugees despite countless refugees from the UK, Europe, and the Caucuses since first contact?

most pathetic story today with the “Medicare maze” story. Commercialising an important story. You should be ashamed. Puns and ridiculous visuals.

All caring Albo care to comment ?

Vaxident?

Maybe John Howard didn’t take enough freedom and democracy with him when he ventured into Iraq,

Saved us the plane ticket back home. A win for taxpayers.

Covid
