Manus detainees reject ex-guard's claims

From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 15 November 2017

Refugees occupying the former detention centre on Manus Island have rejected the claims made by a former security guard that they are criminals who should not be resettled here.

The New Zealand man, known as Ian, says he was a guard on Manus Island for 18 months and has alleged the refugees now refusing to leave the centre are the ones who have caused all the problems in the local community.
