A high-ranking Home Affairs Dept official has blown whistle on what he says was corruption infecting the federal gov’s offshore detention regime, alleging was pressured to cover up suspected rorting so Australia could keep using Nauru as border security outpost.

The Albanese Government must release all contracts, correspondence, and agreements relating to offshore processing and offshore warehousing in Nauru and Papua New Guinea. #60mins #auspol #nauru #albanese #60minutes
November 9, 2025 at 10:31 AM
The #Albanese Government must end the offshore detention regime and stop outsourcing its legal responsibilities to other nations. People deserve better than a government that hides behind closed-door deals to fund cruelty. #60mins #auspol #60minutes #albanese #nauru

The Australian people deserve answers from the #Albanese Government following explosive new whistleblower revelations aired on #60Minutes tonight, exposing corruption, cover-ups and criminal infiltration at the heart of Australia’s offshore detention regime #auspol #60mins #nauru
November 9, 2025 at 10:27 AM
Instead of fixing the chaos, the Albanese Government keeps throwing more money at a broken system that harms people and delivers nothing for community safety. #60mins

The 60 Minutes whistleblower allegations and this transcript show a pattern of gross financial mismanagement and secrecy at the heart of offshore processing.#60mins #nauru #auspol #australia #60minutes
November 9, 2025 at 10:23 AM
#60mins revealed tonight millions of dollars have allegedly flowed to companies linked to bikie gangs and corrupt Nauruan politicians. Contractors have allegedly used public funds to pay for luxury cars, art, mansions and yachts. #nauru #60mins #auspol

A senior Home Affairs official, Dr Derek Elias, has risked jail to speak out about systemic rorting/graft in the Nauru detention system - detailing how millions in taxpayer funds were funnelled through secretive contracts to enrich private companies and corrupt officials #60mins
November 9, 2025 at 10:20 AM
Offshore processing is a cruel and secretive policy built on corruption, cover-ups and lies. It tortures people, destroys lives and drains hundreds of millions in taxpayer money for nothing but harm. #60mins #nauru #auspol #albanese #60minutes

#60mins reporting via a whistleblower that a bikie linked security gang has partnered with our own Australian Federal Police to manage refugees on Nauru. Wild. Tragic. Outrageous. Corruption. This is a genuine scandal. #60minutes #nauru #albanese
November 9, 2025 at 10:14 AM
whistleblowers evidence paints a devastating picture of a gov system “enabling corruption,” where millions were paid for services “no longer required or delivered,” & Home Affairs officials were pressured to cover up wrongdoing to keep offshore system running at any cost #60mins
November 9, 2025 at 10:11 AM
Outrageous. Tens of millions have been given to a criminal bikie gang - to oversee refugees on Nauru, what other appalling things have happened on Nauru to refugees that we still don’t know about? #60mins

These whistleblower revelations reveal a web of secrecy & cover-ups that have plagued offshore detention for more than a decade & continues, where public money disappears into private hands while people seeking asylum are abused at the hands of dodgy detention operators #60mins
November 9, 2025 at 10:08 AM
When governments operate in the shadows, abuse and corruption thrive.
This secrecy by the Albanese Government mirrors what we saw under the Coalition: dodgy contracts, secrecy, and cover-ups that erode public trust. #60mins
#nauru #albanese #auspol #60minutes
November 9, 2025 at 10:06 AM
So much for the transparency, integrity and honesty that the Albanese Government promised it would usher in when in office when it came to refugees. Continuing the same shameful chapter of secrecy and corruption that the Coalition oversaw. #60mins #auspol #albanese #60minutes

Utterly shameful and disgusting watching a Labor Government that claims to stand for values, fairness and the rule of law rip two more men (including a refugee from Sudan) out of our community and deport them for life to Nauru, straight out of Trump’s ICE playbook www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Albanese government deports two more men to Nauru in secret, infuriating human rights advocates
Exclusive: Sources say a Sudanese national and another man were chartered to the former regional processing centre last week, joining one other person

One day we will look back at the #MelbourneCup  and wonder why as a society we allowed glorious horses to be mistreated, exploited & abused just so we could gamble & get drunk. There’s no entertainment to be had in the suffering of animals. They deserve dignity & safety like us. #NupToTheCup
