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

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.
