Go up there with two empty planes, not free building supplies. Don't need to tell you what to do with them.

Are there no Government people in Abaco who couldn't walk around with a couple hundred $ phone and video these sites. Then send the video to these people? Or is the way of spending no doubt a couple thousand dollars the best way forward. Even though we all know nothing will change.

Hasn't the Mudd been viewed by the PM already? Is Foulkes a shanty town specialist?
We don't need no meetings, we need enforcement of the laws of this country!!
If they are not going with Defense force and immigration officers and a magistrate to assess who has to be detained in the detention center, then the entire exercise is a waste of time and taxpayer money!
