The Wire

A plane-load of 69 asylum seekers arrived in Curtin Detention Centre over the weekend, brought back to Australia by the federal government. All had finalised their refugee interviews on Nauru, but have been told none of the processing conducted so far will be taken into account, and they must start over. The Refugee Action Coalition has concerns that the Nauru government may not have any intention of actually processing refugees on Nauru.

Over 20,000 asylum seekers arrived in Australia after August 2012, but before the PNG deal of July 19 2013, and the RAC says  none of them have begun to be processed.
