ASYLUM seekers involved in the Manus Island riots were moved to a resort hotel in Port Moresby paid for by Australian taxpayers. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has launched an internal probe into the use of the Gateway Hotel which could leave the public with a bill of tens of thousands of dollars. “The matter has been brought to my attention and I will be asking my department to advise me on what alternative accommodation arrangements were available, their costs and why they were not used on this or any other occasions,” Mr Morrison said. A group of nine injured asylum seekers were guests at the Gateway Hotel following the riots sparked by the detainees. heraldsun.au/news/manus-island-rioters-moved-to-luxury-resort-as-taxpayers-foot-the-bill/story-fni0fiyv-1226890664792
