Manus deal collapsing. More people than places More boat people have come since Friday than there is room on Manus Island to house them: The fifth boat to arrive in four days was unloaded at Christmas Island yesterday, taking to 317 the number of asylum-seekers to arrive since the new policy was announced last Friday, while a sixth carrying more than 100 people had been detected en route from Indonesia... The Opposition Leader said not one asylum-seeker had so far left for Manus Island. The current capacity on Manus, according to the UNHCR and local MP Ronnie Knight, is 500, with 145 people there already. More tents are expected to be pitched soon to house more boat people, but when? How many? Major General (Ret'd) Jim Molan: The biggest failure I perceive is that Labor has not addressed the underlying problem, Australia's weak borders. To do so would make it even more obvious that this problem is Labor's creation. How many Muslim boat people will PNG let us send before something cracks? [PNG's] PARLIAMENT has passed a motion to carry out a nationwide consultation on the question of religious freedom and whether to ban faiths that are non-Christian. Hela Governor Anderson Agiru moved the motion during grievance debate last Friday that was unanimously supported by both sides of the house... Mr Agiru, during a statement before moving the motion, said the national pledge in the constitution specifically and unequivocally states that Papua New Guinea shall be a Christian country... The question of whether we allow other kinds of faiths to be introduced in Papua New Guinea is the question and that question now needs to be asked... I want to see if the people of PNG, the Churches and everyone agree that all forms of other religions which are not Christian must be banned from Papua New Guinea... We are a very rich country and yet we still have beggars and hungry people on the street. People are dying every where. I think it is time we bring this country under God.
