Russell Crowe is so frustrated at the response to asylum seekers left in the lurch in Australia, that he’s putting his money where his mouth is.
Last week, the actor made an offer via Twitter to house and find work for six refugees who have been left behind on Papua New Guinea’s Manus Island, an incident he called “disgraceful.”
“I believe I could house and find jobs for six. I’m sure there’d be other Australians who would do the same,” Crowe wrote in response to a tweet criticising him.
Manus. A Nations shame. Lives held in limbo . Lives lived in fear & despair . It’s fucking disgraceful

If you’re going to line up for the iPhone X, why not make some money out of it?
Sydney kid Lee Cselko took advantage of the highly awaited smartphone’s expectedly long launch queues to save two spots in the line for Friday’s release date, reports Daily Mail.
Posting on Instagram, Cselko was selling the place next to him in the queue, spot number 25.
“Selling this spot in line for the iPhone X,” he wrote on a whiteboard, and posted to Instagram — with his phone number, a rather risky thing to post to the internet.
According to the Daily Mail, Cselko landed $500 for the spot, not bad for bringing an extra chair. Read more…
