Refugee advocates 'peddling lies': Nauru

The Nauruan Justice Minister David Adeang says Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young and the Anglican Dean of Brisbane are peddling lies about Nauru in order to achieve a political agenda.

“For Senator Hanson-Young and the Anglican Dean of Brisbane to refer to refugee children living in Nauru as child-abuse is dishonest, unconscionable and outrageous.”

Labelling the claims as offensive Adeang says “refugee children can be seen every day of the year doing normal activities like playing with other children, swimming, socialising and interacting with local children.”
