VIDEO: Manus Camp update

NGO group Refugee Action Coalition says Australia's Immigration Minister Peter Dutton's claim that he wants to close the Manus Processing Center as soon as possible, is a lie.

Instead, its spokesperson Ian Rintoul says Dutton wants Manus to become a permanent prison like Nauru.

The group made the comments saying despite constant claims from both Dutton and the Australian Prime Minister that new relocation areas for the refugees are safe and ready, *****photos from West Lorengau on Manus Island show that the area is still a construction site.

Rintoul claim Dutton intends to scuttle any plan for safe resettlement, adding he is deliberately depriving refugees of the necessities of life and forced into less safe areas of Manus Island than provide the safe resettlement that he is obliged to.

Refugee Action Coalition believes the only guarantee of safety for all the asylum seekers and refugees is for the Australian government to end the siege, evacuate them all, and bring them to Australia.
