HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [6.24 pm]: I rise tonight to speak about the urgent humanitarian crisis that is currently occurring on Manus Island. The crisis has effectively been created by the federal government, and I point the finger specifically at Peter Dutton. Australia’s Manus Island prison, which was reopened by the Labor government and has been run very punitively under the current government, has long been a human rights disaster. However, it is now an escalating human rights emergency.
