"Australia has finally accepted New Zealand’s offer to settle some of the
refugees from the offshore processing regime – about nine years after it was
first made in 2013.
The NZ deal will provide certainty for 450 people who have been in limbo, many
for more than a decade.
But in the March 24 announcement, Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews made
clear the deal does not change Australia’s hard-line approach.
This makes the deal a bandage on a failed policy that continues to haemorrhage
cash, destroy lives and erode the international system for refugee protection."
