Rabaul MP, Dr Alan Marat in a serious of questions directed to Foreign Affairs Minister Rimbink Pato questioned the measures taken by his department to deal with refugees’ behaviour which is causing disharmony with the locals.
He said refugees are roaming freely in Lorangau town and the surrounding villages causing a lot of social problems, giving an example of the rape of a local high school girl.
Marat asked about the status of the Supreme Court ruling on the facility established by the Australia Government to process people seeking refuge in Australia by boat.
