Nauru Govt reveals proof that some media and refugee advocates have extreme political agenda

The Government of Nauru has accused sections of the Australian media, refugee advocates and lawyers of double standards, noting that they are more concerned about bashing Nauru than protecting children.
 
Justice Minister David Adeang revealed that a recent allegation by a refugee that his six year old daughter had been sexually assaulted received no interest from the media or from refugee groups when they discovered the accused was another refugee.
 
"It didn't suit their story, because they wanted to once again point the finger at a Nauruan and spread the lies that Nauru is a dangerous place," he said.
 
Mr Adeang said that one media outlet ran the headline of a child being assaulted in Nauru but "dropped the story completely" when it was revealed that a local was not the alleged perpetrator.
 
He said other news outlets, who would "usually be running headline stories and be onto us every day" ignored the story completely, and every refugee advocate and lawyer stopped commenting once they found out there was no political mileage to be gained.
 
"In every single other allegation of this sort, the media and advocates build these things - which are almost always lies - up so they can trash our country to further their political fight against the Australian Government.
 
"This proves that they don't care about the children, but only about how they can exploit the children for their cause. If they really cared about the children why would the nationality of the accused matter?"
 
Mr Adeang said police in this case did what they always did and investigated the allegation properly. While this matter is still with the Director of Public Prosecutions, he noted that almost all allegations of assault by refuges are unsubstantiated allegations with no physical evidence, witnesses or details.
 
"It is very unfortunate that advocates and lawyers in Australia are telling refugees here that fabricating allegations of assault will help them get to Australia, because it won't."
 
He also pointed to recent issues of "blatant bias" including a recent media report that showed pictures of a broken-down building in the Nauru hospital the day before a new $27 million hospital facility was opened.
 
"The journalist had the new pictures but failed to even mention the new hospital, because it clearly didn't suit the agenda."
 
Australian Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young also tweeted two-year old pictures of the old hospital the day before the opening, a move the Government said was "clearly designed to misrepresent the facts".
