Australia and Nauru signed an agreement on Friday to allow the Australian government to deport formerly detained people without valid visas to the tiny island nation, the Australian Associated Press reported.
Under the memorandum of understanding, Australia will pay Nauru 408 million Australian dollars ($267 million) up front once the first people arrive, followed by 70 million Australian dollars ($46 million) annually for the resettlement.
The move is being slammed by refugee advocates, some of whom say the deal could open the door to mass deportations without notice. Human rights organizations have protested deportations to Nauru since a report by the United Nations found “systematic violations” of the International Convention Against Torture.
Tony Burke, Australia’s home affairs minister, said in a statement that the memorandum “contains undertakings for the proper treatment and long-term residence of people who have no legal right to stay in Australia, to be received in Nauru.”
The two countries struck a deal in February to allow Australia to deport three violent criminals to Nauru. They were granted 30-year visas.

So the US is not the only country to have problems with “immigrants”?
These deportees are largely individuals who engaged in criminal conduct.
Like Australia, the United States needs to address an immigration process that allows individuals to game the system for years despite orders of removal. It should happen while we have a government that understands that criminals do not have carte blanche to invade the US.
Nauru is a small island country located in the western Pacific Ocean, just south of the equator.
It is in Oceania, and its nearest neighbor is the island of Banaba (Kiribati), which is about 305 km (190 miles) to the east.
Isn’t that where Joe’s uncle was elected king of the cannibals until they revolted and killed him and ate him after issuing an edict to embrace transgender surgeries for minors after he sniffed their hair?
No, but they did produce lots of bat guano for a while.
Same as Senile Joe’s memory.
That’s an insult to bat guano!
We need a rather large (continental size?) island where we can store all the criminals, illegals, etc. Maybe somewhere in the South Pacific?
Not much room on a twenty-one sq mile island. They’ll probably just eat them.
The irony. Australia was once Great Britain’s “Nauru.”
Not a bad idea- send em al. To a tiny island, and let them be angry and violent against themselves. Th3y are always trying to overtake a country anyways, so give em one to have all to th3mselves, only make it a small one where tensions will be high.
If memory serves, Nauru is not a very good place to go to. It used to be a very wealthy, ecologically nice place but it was stripped for it’s natural resources and now is very impoverished.
On Sunday, August 31, March for Australia anti-immigration protests took place in approximately 20 cities across Australia, including all state and territory capitals and several regional cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart.Their leader, Thomas Sewell’s speech is on point:
Australia is beset on all sides by ginormous empires of the third world. We don’t have to hate these people, or set them up as our enemy, but there are 1.4 billion Chinamen, and 1.4 billion Indians, and there are billions of other people in this world, and they all have a nation, they all have a home. And if we allow ourselves to be replaced and displaced in this land, if we do not maintain our demographics, if we do not stop immigration, then our death is certain.

I’m with you on this one.
I’m familiar with one of the three violent criminals. He is Tony Kellisar. He entered Australia as an Iranian refugee about 35 years ago. About 28 years ago he killed his wife in a most horrific manner and has spent 27 years in jail.
He turned his life around while in jail. Left the religion of death and became a christian. This was a genuine conversion. For about 2 years he was free (half the time with an ankle bracelet that had all too high of a failure rate).
This was a person I could never imagine myself even wanting to be around. I was (and still am) suffering stage 4, metastatic cancer. My priest asked me to chat with Tony and try to be a friend. It was difficult but I did so. Surprisingly a friendship started. He had educated himself quite extensively and was looking to be gainfully employed (of which the government kept making impossible).
I had to go into the hospital for an extreme surgery (lasted over 10 hours). I spent over two weeks in the hospital. My wife visited nearly everyday. My kids two or three times a week. My priest twice a week. Some dear friends each about twice a week. Tony however was there every day. He helped in my recovery. No one else even came close to the care and compassion that he offered. He had absolutely nothing to gain. He has made no mention of this in any of his petitions to the government. I have seen multiple acts of kindness from him. He served out his entire prison term (spent conviction).
He is now facing being extradited to Nauru. Nauru has refused to offer any guarantees that he will not be repatriated to Iran (a death sentence). He has lung disease that has had him hospitalised multiple times over the past decade, including a year ago and now just two weeks ago while in immigration detention. Nauru does not have appropriate medical care, so effectively a death sentence. Being an Orthodox Christian, he religious needs can not be met on the island.
If Tony was the person he was 28 years ago, I would be happy to see him leave and go anywhere else as long as we would be rid of him. He however as dramatically changed and until being brought back into immigration detention had been busy with multiple charitable endeavours. He has shown a kindness and compassion that I have rarely seen. I don’t have the answers, but I do know that effectively giving him a death sentence is wrong. He has shown that he is no longer a threat (now 63 years old) and seeks to be a contributing member of society.
They’ll know where they are.

“You’re in the jungle, baby!”
Any prog complaining needs to hang out at the beaches of Melbourne or Paramatta mall in Sydney. Violent African colonies.
A three hour tour.
I don’t pretend to know Australian law, but after serving his sentence and turning his life around, why was he singled out to be sent away?
It’s not like there aren’t plenty of Muslims that deserve to be deported in his place.
