Papua New Guinea is pushing back on Australia’s plans to continue a contract with Paladin to run refugee and asylum seeker accommodation on Manus Island.
The 423 million dollar contract is currently being scrutinised by the national audit office and expires in less than two weeks but home affairs minister Peter Dutton indicated on Sunday this would likely be extended.
PNG's immigration minister Petrus Thomas says his government expects to either cancel or terminate the contract by the end of June
