There have been numerous attempts to have independent investigations of the abuses in Nauru and Manus Island and they've been blocked many times by the government. There is also evidence of child rape by the guards of these modern-day internment camps, with no resolution that I've hear of by the government.

The government is not interested in investigating these hideous abuses and conditions at all. In fact they were trying to find the whistleblowers (probably to prosecute them) rather than investigating the allegations of rape and torture[1].
