Scott Morrison's comments and conduct need examination

Scott Morrison's conduct should now be the subject of the inquiry he
has commissioned into the chaos and carnage that unfolded on Manus
Island last week.
The inquiry's terms of reference should be widened to include
who gave the Immigration Minister such wildly inaccurate information
after the violence - and what steps he took to verify it before going
public.
The minister now concedes he was wrong to assert, without
qualification, that 23-year-old Iranian, Reza Barati, was killed outside
the detention centre when he and others ''absconded'' from the
''safety'' it afforded.
He also said the asylum seeker was shot in the buttocks,
received his wound ''outside the centre'', that just two shots were
fired, and there was no suggestion anyone employed by security
contractor G4S was involved.
All these assertions have been challenged.
