Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has falsely claimed that the shooting at the Manus Island detention centre on April 14 was linked to refugees taking a five-year-old boy to the centre. First of all, Australians have been lied to by the government's fiction that seeking asylum by boat is illegal. The refugees, who had witnessed Reza's murder inside the detention centre in front of their eyes, had to endure this lie until it was subsequently proved wrong. The Australian and PNG governments never asked the Manusian people if they wanted to take 1000 strange men into their island. On the other side, the refugees have been exiled to this island and kept here by force against their will.
