Australian refugee rights leader in NZ to support admission of people on Manus

Ian Rintoul, spokesperson for the Australian advocacy group, Refugee Action Coalition, in Auckland for a series of meetings with refugee and migrant groups, has called for the newly elected Labour government not to allow the dismissiveness of the Australian government to deter them from their humanitarian offer to take 150 refugees from Manus Island.

“The refugees’ claim has long been for resettlement in a safe third country,” said Ian Rintoul, spokesperson for the Refugee Action Coalition

“The renewed offer from Jacinda Ardern has given the refugees some hope that they do have a future beyond Manus Island.

“The Australian government claims that the refugees on Manus Island are the responsibility of the government of Papua New Guinea, but on the other has threatened both the PNG and the New Zealand government with ‘diplomatic consequences’ should they dare to discuss a resolution to the crisis on Manus Island.

“We are appalled at the implied threats of the Australian government, “ said Rintoul,

“Jacinda Ardern should understand that the days of the Turnbull government are numbered and that she will soon be dealing with a Labor government in Australia. We would call on Jacinda Ardern to consider increasing the number of refugees that New Zealand would be willing to resettle,

“The Australian government has no arrangement for the security or the future of the refugees on Manus Island. Their future and their safety may well rest with the willingness of New Zealand to maintain its humanitarian principles in the Asia Pacific.”

  1. It’s been 10 years since Kevin Rudds radical reform of Australian immigration and every ones looking @Turnie Bull like wtf man. Do something. New Zealand offered to take 150 refugees per year, and excuse me, why hasn’t the offer been accepted? Because there are solutions out there that would have solved the problem just no Australian government has moved on anything, ANYTHING!!!??? To do with immigration. Not anything. And this whole back door argument is billshit. Either Australia or NZ could change visas a little. But again no one is even thinking of solutions, they just want to hold onto there human stop signs. And like Ramsey Boltin every one just wants to see it die already (I mean canned. You know what I mean).

    1 seat majority to the first party that says I’v got a plan for this. Make me your leader!!!

  2. The ones left on Manus, ARE NOT REFUGEES! They are queue jumpers/criminals with dodgy pasts….if NZ takes any of these men (god forbid all 150) then any and every crime commited by them will be a nail in Jacintas political coffin and the splinters of this coffin will be deeply imbedded in all 3 of the COL parties.

    • That’s a stupid argument and it got me thinking. To have a really powerful and successful victim blaming mentality you have to have them under observation to see how they adapt and get more powerful over time so they can get bruised and adapt and come back stronger than ever. And of course so the victim can come back and give the accusers a lot more potent talking points right right? So of course detainees have lost that argument I’m not going to contest that.

      But the thing is you’ve been going around blog sites and social media with stupid arguments that miss a lot of things like government and personal functions but for the most part you’re getting a lot of information wrong and your talking points are wrong. So you’ve been going around for years saying these guys apparently have loads of cash and are cue jumpers or some shit. Do you see the no limits fallacy here? No doubt they’ve payed a lot of cash to be where they are and was lead astray by charlatan educators claiming I have the golden ticket for only $9999.99. So let’s be honest here. Just because you have an amount of money doesn’t guarantee a spot in a first world country or just any one with a certain amount of money so it’s a no limits fallacy.

      You bring up some shady character profiling as if you have first hand or even second hand information and even with that information detainees still remain a problem. Again it’s no limits fallacy. And now apparently Australian immigration need help from Trump to take all the refugees down. Ignoring the 20 million refugees on UN books alone. And a measly 600 holding every one up or something, your argument not mine, cue jumping I think you said. Again no limits fallacy. That’s because the immigration debate is way to much for you. And this is confirmed by Helen Clark that your fallacies have no limits… http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-12/interview:-helen-clark,-former-prime-minister-of/8611470

      Moving these detainees on has become an issue for the majority of Australians and New Zealanders because we’re not actually that much of a cunt. We under stand that these guys have been detained with out trial for years and years and have spent a minimum $5bil on Australian immigration policy and billions more they haven’t told any one about. What hold on. That’s $5 BILLION dollars WASTED. Again highlighting you no limits fallacy. But this isn’t about money any more for the vast majority of Australian and New Zealand citizens. It’s a matter of finding leadership where there is none. Which again highlights the rights no limit fallacy… http://www.canberratimes.com.au/national/public-service/cost-for-australias-offshore-immigration-detention-near-5-billion-20170716-gxci97.html

  3. Sam….irrespective of your feelings….jacinta will be front and center if any rapes/ violence commited from tje 150.

    Bring it on…muslem men!

    • Are you that sick in the head? That’s the kind of shit post that pisses me off. You’re just repeating propoganda. Again, no limit fallacy. This isn’t about you or your feelings eh. Unless, God forbid. You had a traumatic experience and have to come here because you can’t afford to see a shrink. Bit like TS. But any way.

      Simplest way to “fix” that is to simply enforce laws as they are. Deport immigrants, ect. Don’t give european-kiwis lesser sentences for rape and murder due to them being wealthy traumatized influenza victims. Re-learn the purpose of legal punishment really isn’t deterrence but rehabilitation.

      And don’t think for a second I don’t know what your talking about. Peoole can talk a tough game. Idk, you just don’t stick me as being very tough.
