The refugees dumped on Manus Island have to wait weeks for medical attention for serious problems, and are denied treatment rather than sending them to Australia. Then the state lies to cover it up.

It seems pretty clear that the officials in charge of this have dehumanized the refugees. I'd guess that by now most of the people employed now to deal with them dehumanize them — because the decent ones have left by now. The doctors are to some extent an exception, because they have medical ethics to strengthen them.
