Kurdish refugee Behrouz Boochani, who spent six years detained on Manus Island, has called for a royal commission into Australia's offshore processing, saying the nation has a right to know what its governments have done onshore and offshore.
In an address at Parliament House in Canberra, Mr Boochani spoke of the asylum seekers who died on Manus Island, the hundreds who were "damaged" because of their detention and the $14 billion spent on contracts.
"I would like to call for a royal commission," he told the parliamentary friends of refugees meeting on Tuesday.
