Let me guess, their voter registration databases have been hacked.... Just like JP Morgan Life equifax Like Sony ... was this a free and fair election?

BULLSHIT Yours truly An Australian

If only Australia was a compassionate country with a Christian PM... oh wait! auspol

This is an affront to journalism and ethical discourse.

Lol

More fake news....absolute rubbish!🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

abcnews won't be reporting this because they have been bought off by threats from the anti christ ScottMorrisonMP

secupp Only shocking to leftist self righteous socialists that live in echo chambers

Oh well

EndIndefiniteDetention

ScottMorrisonMP what is happening here?

Thats just part of our horrid regime under herr hitler dutton. But I hear you have your own herr hitler trump doing much the same but super sizing it by killing kids not the adults. Whats your kid death total..6?

The NAZIS had gas chambers Australia has refugee death camps. OHCHR_Pacific humanrights1st CoE_HRightsRLaw dailytelegraph humanrightslaw LiberalAus AustralianLabor

PCKJ3627 So awful We are depressed as normal Australian citizens with the Pentecostal messiah who has no heart but these victims have no say and no rights bebebragg

CNN lol

Who is encouraging this manipulative behaviour.? They were warned they will never set foot here.

Look, drinking alcohol from a shoe is not a suicide attempt. It's just a drinking game they play.

Absolutely not our problem. If you come by boat, you will not be settled in Australia.

Australia is MAGA country

'activists say'

brucerossbrc LiarFromTheShire and you call yourself a Christian

brucerossbrc What has Australia become? We treat refugees horrendously & are prepared to let a 2 year old boy die. savekayban

It was our previous Labor government who started up offshore processing on Manus Island. Under Labor 8,000 children were in detention offshore, today under the Coalition government there are 0.

Can understand their feeling of hopelesness?. At least war prisoners always lived with hope their side would eventaually win release them? not so for these young men? just nothing at all but hell! near starvation? emptiness!

Fake news

sacarlin48 Shamed throughout democratic civilisation - worldwide. Monstrous depravity.

Labor doesn’t come out of this total disgrace smelling of roses BTW

This has been happening for years. Refugees have been given poor medical care, been beaten, abused, and when New Zealand offered to resettle them Australia said no and continues to detain people for 6 years and counting. No wonder the rate of suicide is increasing.

ScottMorrisonMP dude

MakMayek Um, “activists say”? Actually there are eye witness accounts!

How is the majority of voters expressing their democratic rights “a shock?” Seems like the only ones “shocked” were the ultra liberal media who keep failing to project their bias in their election reporting 😂

Scummo has made this country a world wide laughing stock.

There is where they're at, stuck in a hellhole. Between death and perpetual incarceration by the most heartless government in modern history, who won't even send them to other countries who will take them, they choose to simply not be alive any more. That option is not normal

Might be a shock for the fake news and Co It's the inevitable and everyone knows it, just like Mr President Trump would be there again and there's nothing you and your people can do about it, fake news.
