Detention centre guards suspended over social media posts Eight members of the 'emergency response team' at Nauru stood down. Guards also posed for picture with controversial MP Pauline Hanson.
Eight guards from Nauru detention centre have been suspended after they posed for a photograph with Pauline Hanson at a Reclaim Australia rally which was later posted on Facebook.
The members of the "emergency response team" at Nauru, who were hired on the basis of their cultural "sensitivity", have been stood down pending an investigation into their social media use.
The guards had appeared to endorse Hanson's anti-immigration politics, and some promoted the Reclaim Australia movement and posted anti-Islam slurs online.
