    Mm wonder where they were flown to?

    PAPUA New Guinea has warned Labor and the coalition not to impugn its dignity over the asylum seeker issue, as 70 men were flown out of the Manus Island detention facility amid allegations of rape and torture. Immigration Minister Tony Burke is due on the island on Thursday to see for himself conditions at the centre, after speaking with the whistleblower who made the claims. It's not clear if the group which left on Wednesday included the alleged offenders. But Mr Burke had said he would remove them before Australian authorities begin transferring people to the island under Labor's new hardline policy to stop the flow of asylum seeker boats. Whistleblower Rod St George alleges up to half a dozen men were assaulted and sexually abused by some detainees, others were forced to sew their lips together and one had solvent poured into his ear. "I've worked with some of the worst criminals Australia has and even they have a clearer sense of decency than what I witnessed there," Mr St George told SBS's Dateline program.
