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
