dreamer_easyNeither Australian Or PNG Gov’t Informed Family Of Man Who Died On Manus Island (Pedestrian, 23 May 2018). Good gods, they can't even bureaucrat properly.
Doctors beg Australian Border Force to move terminally ill refugee off Nauru (GA, 23 May 2018). I thought perhaps the problem was that the dying man has family in Afghanistan and could apply to bring them to Australia, but apparently they won't even send him to Taiwan, which doesn't accept refugees. (The former head of the ABF has admitted that it has a history of blocking medically necessary transfers.)
White South African farmers won't get special treatment, despite Peter Dutton's earlier claims (ABC, 22 May 2018). I wonder if this was ever a serious proposal, or just dog-whistling.
