Australia spent estimated $130,000 on RAAF jet to fly pregnant Somali refugee to Nauru

Australia likely spent more than $130,000 chartering an RAAF jet to fly pregnant Somali refugee Abyan back to Nauru, government contracts indicate. Abyan – who was rapidly forcibly returned to Nauru late on Friday – is 15 weeks pregnant as a result of an alleged rape on Nauru. After several weeks of asking to be transferred to Australia to terminate the unwanted pregnancy, Abyan was flown to Sydney on 11 October. (www.theaviationnews.com) Mehr...
