HILITE--/ But a copy of a motion cites the death of Iranian asylum seeker Reza Berati, the inhumane, unsafe and completely unsatisfactory conditions for asylum seekers on Manus Island and Nauru and a lack of independent oversight of the centres, and the lack of processing of asylum claims in both countries as justification for the move. The motion calls for Labor to no longer support the transfer of asylum seekers by Australia to Manus Island or Nauru and detention centres in those places to be closed forthwith.
