Australian government and G4S hit with multiple lawsuits from Manus Island staff
​
27 December 2018
The Australian government and the security giant it contracts to secure offshore detention centres, G4S, are facing a raft of lawsuits alleging staff were put at risk while working on Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island, suffering physical and psychological harm during riots.
