AN Australian barrister representing 75 asylum seekers has been forced to leave Manus Island ahead of his expected deportation by Papua New Guinean authorities.
Contrary to a court order granted by Justice David Cannings allowing Sydney lawyer Jay Williams access to the detention facilities on Manus Island he was on Thursday ejected, the ABC reports.
He will be sent back to Australia on the next flight, PNG's attorney general Kerenga Kua said, adding that Mr Williams hadn't followed the appropriate procedures to practice law in the country.
"What it means is if you're an admitted lawyer but don't have a current practising certificate for 2014, you cannot practise law in this country. Now in the case of Mr Williams, it meets neither requirements," he said.
Justice Canning initiated a human rights inquiry earlier this month into the conditions under which asylum seekers were living but it was temporarily halted, following a week of hearings, after the Supreme Court granted a stay order.
The country's government wants to appeal Justice Canning's decision not to remove himself from the inquest, on allegations he's biased.
In response, Justice Canning started a second inquiry.
