It was the Australian government that cut off their drinking water, not the Papua New Guinean government. Attorney, I refer you to the offer made by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to accept at least 150 of the men that Australia remains responsible for under international law on Manus Island, as confirmed by the United Nations. Doesn't your government's refusal to accept this offer categorically give the lie to your claims that the detainees are not your responsibility?
