Morrison has stated he was full of fury at having to incur a cost of $1billion+
through his decision to re-open the Christmas Island detention centre. He and
others on his front bench have cited how such money could be put to better use.

Sound reasonable or is it? What I would like to know is what is the cost of continuing
to maintain the offshore processing facilities on the islands of Manus and Nauru.
If all those on Nauru and Manus are to be transferred to Christmas Island does it
not mean that the detention centres on Nauru and Manus Islands will be closed and the
huge cost associated with those centres will no longer apply?

Could there in fact be an overall saving by transferring the remainder to a re-opened
Christmas Island facility?

I have a feeling we are being spun a load of politically based clap trap on this issue.

Must be an election in the wind lol.
