Australia's refugee day of shame
Submitted by 2060 on Sun, 21/07/2013 - 5:11pmSenator slams Rudd's PNG dump plan calling it radical, right-wing and hard-line.
Prime Minister Rudd’s refugee announcement is Australia's day of refugee shame, Greens Leader Senator Christine Milne said.
“A rich country like Australia paying off a poor country to take our desperate refugees is passing the buck and an abrogation of our responsibilities to people and the international community,” Senator Milne said.
“It’s not a regional solution, but a radical, right-wing, hard-line response. Manus Island will be Australia’s gulag in PNG.
