| Protesting asylum seekers on Manus Island have been labelled "irresponsible" by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, who urged them to stop their hunger strike.
In a statement on Monday afternoon, Mr Dutton accused some asylum seekers of engaging in "aggressive behaviour", rather than a peaceful protest.
"A number of transferees have regrettably engaged in aggressive behaviour over the weekend at the Manus Regional Processing Centre and that protest action is ongoing," he said.
"This behaviour is irresponsible and not only puts service provider staff in danger, but also other transferees."
