Niko Leka quotes fromΒ Farhad Bandesh, who was imprisoned on Manus Island and later in the Mantra Hotel, who said the torture ofΒ innocent people amounts toΒ theΒ 'absolute neglect of humanity'.

The federal government has awarded a lucrative contract running refugee facilities on Nauru to a Queensland-based engineering firm, despite the company having no experience in providing refugee services.

Canstruct International Pty Ltd has won the $8 million contract to run β€œgarrison and welfare services” from November 1.

The move has been slammed by human rights groups.

Amnesty International accused Canstruct of taking up a β€œtoxic contract” that profits from the abuse of asylum seekers.
