Prime Minister, as the local police chief, the local parliamentarian and the detainees on Manus Island themselves have repeatedly said for the last four years, PNG cannot resettle the refugees and they can have no safety outside the fences of Manus RPC. These men are Australia's responsibility. Bring them here now.
