‘The wait is too long’: the refugees left in PNG after a decade in Australia’s offshore detention. By Ben Doherty, The Guardian

The department refuses to say how many of the nearly 1,400 people Australia sent to PNG remain there.

Guardian Australia understands there are 52, as well as a number of their wives and partners, and 28 children. Four want to stay in PNG, three are within the “process” of moving to the US, 19 to New Zealand and seven to Canada. But nearly two dozen have no “pathway” to resettlement.

Australia’s claim that those remaining are the responsibility of the PNG government is not supported by international law.
