‘I think it’s outrageous that people are still there and they have trashed the facility, they’re living in squalor,’ he told 2GB radio.
‘The Australian taxpayers have paid about $10 million for a new facility and we want people to move.’
Mr Dutton again reiterated the men will never be coming to Australia.
‘It’s like the tenant that won’t move out of the house when you build a new house for them to move into,’ he said.
