Future of New Zealand's Nauru resettlement deal unclear. By Ben McKay, National Indigenous Times

New Zealand is unlikely to resettle its full quota of refugees from Nauru under its 2022 agreement with Australia, and faces choices on the future of the pact.

A deal struck by previous governments on both sides of the Tasman agreed New Zealand would take 450 refugees from the detention centre between 2022-2025.

In the first two years of the pact, around 210 people have been approved to settle in New Zealand, and just 172 have done so.

More have been referred to the UNHCR for processing.
