Thread....

From the Government that brought you Paladin's beach shack on Kangaroo Island, this was the Pacific International Hospital's clinic on Manus Island that the Australian Govt paid $21.5million for, for 'Comprehensive Health Services'
The new Pacific International Hospital contract that started out at $12,781,783.21 in July 2019 has ballooned to $106,526,285.92 and has just had its contract extended another 6 months and amended a further $10,891,766.00...there are only 125 refugees left in Papua New Guinea.
Then we have JDA Wokman/Applus PNG They're contracted for "Settlement Services." Their original contract value was for $6,123,458.02. It is now worth $139,437,000.00. It too was extended a further 6 months and amended a further $17,857,000.00. Again, that is for 125 refugees.
JDA Wokman made the news and this should have been a scandal, but everyone was focussed on Paladin. The Government's favourite medical company to outsource to, Aspen Medical, gets a special mention in this article too....

abc.net.au/news/2019-05-0…
"Paradise Health Solutions half-owned by Aspen Medical was subcontracted to JDA to provide Aus staff to support the local case workers. Former employees of Paradise Health Solutions are speaking out saying they were asked to change company paperwork for an Aus Govt audit"
This is a month by month breakdown of how much JDA Wokamn was paid by the Australian Government between October 2017 and March 2021. Remember, there are only 25 refugees left in PNG now.
NKW Holdings were paid to feed and house 209 asylum seekers and had been "suspected of inflating invoices, while making millions of dollars in profit" by charging $1400 per person per day at West Haus and Hillside

smh.com.au/politics/feder…
This is a breakdown month by month of how much the Australian Government was paying NKW Holdings to feed 209 refugees
Remember Paladin? Here is what they were getting paid per month by the Australian Government....
Here is what Pacific International Hospital has received per month by the Australian Government - again...there are 125 refugees left in Papua New Guinea....
Just how much has the Department of Home Affairs (formerly the Department of Immigration) spent on sending doctors to offshore immigration
detention facilities? This financial year alone it will be $16.4 million for PNG (125 refugees) & $33.7 million for Nauru (108 refugees)
This is the total cost per year, for each financial year beginning with 2012-13, that
Australia has incurred under the MOUs with Papua New Guinea for offshore processing
and resettlement. This financial year alone it is $49.7 million (for 125 refugees)
This is the total cost per year, for each financial year beginning with 2012-13, that
Australia has incurred under the MOUs with Nauru for offshore processing and
resettlement. This financial year alone it is $354.3 million (for 108 refugees)
To hold a refugee in an immigration detention facility it
costs $361,835 pa
Hotel-type APODs $471,493 pa
Community detention $46,490 pa
People on bridging visas $16,801 pa

The harm and damage we have caused to thousands of refugees and asylum seekers who thought Australia would protect them is incalculable. The billions spent on hurting them isn't. This has to end. Enough is enough. #GameOver #Manus #Nauru #PNG
That should say 125 refugees x
And just for my own personal pain outlet...This Government swapped my partner and over 900 others who sought safety here to the US in exchange for 3 "alleged" Rwandan rebels.

Morrison is basically blackmailing Australians to hand over their privacy to ease restrictions & blackmailing teachers so parents can put "food on the table". This is not the first time he’s used dirty tactics involving freedom and children to get what he wants....A thread.
In December 2014, Scott Morrison promised to release around 1500 asylum seekers on Christmas Island in time for Christmas, including 460 children. He was accused of using the children “as bargaining chips, as pawns in his political play, to get legislation that he wanted through"
The legislation was 'The Migration and Maritime Powers Legislation Amendment (Resolving the Asylum Legacy Caseload) Bill 2014.' This Bill gave then Immigration Minister Scott Morrison "unheard-of powers over the fates of asylum seekers and refugees....

After the lies Dutton has been spreading today in regards to the Biloela family, I started reflecting on the first time I truly understood how dark and dirty this man can get. Remembering the lies & the Good Friday Shooting on #Manus Island
When the PNG Navy opened fire on the #Manus refugees on Good Friday 2017, Peter Dutton brazenly lied and said that no one had been injured, only one weapon had been fired in the air and then insinuated that it had happened because a young boy had been lured into the camp.
For nearly a month the department maintained that “no one was injured” and that the Papua New Guinean military personnel had discharged only one weapon into the air during the incident.

Thread - Facts vs Fiction on the standard of medical treatment received by the #Manus refugees in PNG at Pacific International Hospital via @moonanne21 FB

"I am outraged by Dr Gillespie and his statement that the men get medical treatment equal to regional Australia."
"I want to share just some of the messages that I've been sent by #Manus Men in PIH - many begging to get out.
I've been getting too many reports of abuse, assault and medical neglect at PIH for it to be ignored."
"These reports are coming from different men in different wards, from men who have no connection with others in the hospital.They can't all be exaggerating as the authorities would have us believe."

Thread - Peter Dutton claiming today “ I am the most honest politician you will meet ...” is as ludicrous and disingenuous as when he claimed that he was "a person of high integrity".

Dutton...Truth...Integrity...A trip down memory lane 🙄😡
