Australian Greens Immigration Spokesperson Nick McKim has been ordered to leave Manus Island on the sixth anniversary of the commencement of indefinite offshore detention.
\n\u201cThe veil of secrecy continues to surround Australia\u2019s detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru,\u201d Senator McKim said.
\n\u201cAs a member of the Australian Parliament it is my duty to examine the conditions in which Australia\u2019s detainees are being kept.\u201d
\n\u201cThis has been six long years of cruelty and deprivation.\u201d
\n\u201cThe mental health of detainees is at an all-time low.\u201d
\n\u201cThe deliberate cruelty of the Labor and Liberal parties has removed all hope that these men had for the future.\u201d
\n\u201cThe Australian Greens will continue fighting to ensure all refugees and people seeking asylum are given the freedom and safety they so desperately need.\u201d
\nSenator McKim was ordered to leave Papua New Guinea on Friday despite having an official passport and multiple entry visa.
\n\u201cIn my six visits to Papua New Guinea I have always followed local laws and been respectful to everyone.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is the Labor and Liberal parties who wear the shame of this bloody chapter, not the people of Papua New Guinea.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
