Refugees into unhealthy practices says MP Knight

Some of the male processed refugees on Manus Island have been involved in many socially unhealthy practices, complains a local MP.

Manus MP  Ronnie Knight says they are clearly out of hand, drinking illegal home brew alcohol with Manusians and consorting with young girls with rumours of one girl being pregnant.

 "They go to the media saying what a shit place Manus is but they have the freedom of the town. We need the relevant authorities to exercise some control and provide answers as to when they are moving to their new location," Mr Knight said.

Mr Knight has written  letters already to the asylum seekers centre  management at the Manus Centre but action has not been forth coming.
