I categorically reject that I behaved in any way badly while I was on Papua New Guinea. I simply politely asked to enter that prison.

I note the comments of New Zealand Prime Minister Ardern, who has again reiterated her generous and kind offer to accept 150 people per year from Manus Island and Nauru. Minister, how can your government continue to reject that offer and deny desperate people the freedom and safety that they need and deserve?
