Inquiry told of abuse in Nauru concentration camp

An immigration camp on the Pacific island of Nauru holding asylum-seekers turned away by Australia has seen rape and other abuse, according to submissions to an Australian inquiry which has opened hearings.

Asylum-seekers on the island live in mouldy tents and have little privacy, the Senate inquiry's first public hearing was told, while a doctor who assessed children there said living conditions were unsafe and put vulnerable women and children at "considerable" risk.

Australia refuses to accept asylum-seekers arriving by boat, instead sending them to camps on Nauru and Papua New Guinea for resettlement, despite strong criticism from rights groups.

But the inquiry was dismissed as a "stunt" by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton who said the government ordered a review into Nauru last year and has since addressed many issues.

David Isaacs, the doctor, wrote in his submission that guards were able to enter tents "unannounced any time" and one woman told him she had been raped when she went to the toilet -- up to 120 metres away from some tents -- at night.

"She told me that since the rape, one guard had offered her extra shower time in return for sexual favours," stated the doctor, adding that a different guard had offered the woman marijuana in return for sex.
