Manus Island rioters moved to luxury resort as tax

Quote:

ASYLUM seekers involved in the Manus Island riots were moved to a resort hotel in Port Moresby paid for by Australian taxpayers.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has launched an internal probe into the use of the Gateway Hotel which could leave the public with a bill of tens of thousands of dollars.

“The matter has been brought to my attention and I will be asking my department to advise me on what alternative accommodation arrangements were available, their costs and why they were not used on this or any other occasions,” Mr Morrison said.

A group of nine injured asylum seekers were guests at the Gateway Hotel following the riots sparked by the detainees.

Earlier this month one of the nine remained in the hotel, which costs at least $200 a night, six weeks after the riots

Boy these 'asylum seekers' are expensive.

How much is a torpedo?

Process these people on the mainland and integrate them within the wider community and allow the adults to work and earn money. As abbott says, work is the best kind of welfare.

If prostitutes and liquor were laid on politicians have a right to be upset. That's a public purse perk usually reserved for politicians.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Its the other way around, they should stop being a problem to us.

If they were real asylum seekers they would flee to the nearest country. But, apparently they have the time to shop around for the wealthiest country that is sure to have a rather generous welfare system and then fly to the country nearest to it!

Besides we have enough third worlders in our country, we certainly don't need anymore of them especially considering the likelihood of them committing crime once they're in our country(like the one near the bottom of this webpage http://whitelawtowers.blogspot.com.au/ ,second vid from the bottom) which the mainstream lefty media likes to keep under wraps.
