NAURU UPGRADE ‘BETTER THAN RURAL HOSPITAL’
Feb 8^th, 2016 at 5:45am

EXCLUSIVE Daniel Meers

THESE are the first pictures of significant upgrades to the Nauru hospital and village where asylum seekers are being housed.

The first phase of the hospital upgrade, including a surgical wing, is set to open this month as part of $20 million in annual aid provided to the island nation by Australia.

The Daily Telegraph can also reveal that since the detention centre became an “open centre”, allowing refugees to roam freely around the island, lifesavers patrol the beaches and playgrounds have been built.

Refugees are also encouraged to play both AFL and soccer.

Cabinet ministers who have visited the facility privately claim it is in better shape than some Aboriginal communities in Australia.

Nauru will continue to be used as an offshore processing facility instead of Australia after the High Court last week ruled by a six to one majority that Australia’s involvement was constitutional.

International Development Minister Steven Ciobo said it was disappointing “misleading information” had been spread about the state of the hospital and facilities on Nauru.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the new wing of the hospital was better than some rural hospitals.

“The hospital is of at least the same standard as I saw operating for our troops in the Middle East, and certainly much better than some I’ve seen in regional Australia,’’ he said.

So Joe spends over $200 million on his residence in the States and Nauru gets 20 million. Wow - what a bargain!

No, but that's the legacy left behind by an incompetent Labor government.

Yep, but you aren't exactly wedded to it either.

Multiple billions have been spent on about 50,000 people. Imagine how much it would cost if Labor opened the floodgates again and 100,000 arrived? It would affect our economy.

Off shore detention costs over B $'s per year ? We could build some real nice regional hospitals with that.

Sorry AP but I have a much better relationship with the truth than you.

You mean 20 million.

On that particular service you are probably correct but overall the off shore policy is costing over a Billion per year. I did exaggerate a bit without thinking though. Not like throwing around only $20 Million is irrelevant though.

Quote:

Detention on Nauru and Manus Island cost taxpayers more than $1 billion in the 2014-15 financial year, the sixth year running that spending has gone over budget.

Funding allocated for the period was lower than the previous year, according to the Immigration Department's annual report, though 2013-14 also saw an $89-million overspend to total $3.1 billion.
