Steve Kilburn, the previous member (Labor) for Chatsworth, was on ABC’s Four Corners tonight in an episode titled ‘The Manus Solution’. You can view the episode here. Mr Kilburn, a Carindale resident, was interviewed in relation to his role as a former G4S Security Guard on Manus Island. We’ve compiled some of the tweets that were posted shortly after it aired. You can add your own comments at the bottom (please be civil!).

This #4corners report leaves no doubt that abuse of refugees on Manus is sanctioned by the Australian government, including @ScottMorrisonMP — James W.W. Rose (@jwwr) April 28, 2014

@SteveKilburn To simply say “thanks” is a massive understatement, but thank you nevertheless.
