New Zealand to take 450 refugees from Australian processing centers
The New Zealand government said on Thursday it would take a total of 450 asylum seekers in Australia or its offshore detention center on Nauru in the South Pacific over the next three year.
 
Australia’s hardline immigration policy requires asylum seekers intercepted at sea trying to reach Australia to be sent to offshore detention centers. They are told they will never be settled in Australia and many have spent years in limbo.
 
"We are pleased to be able to provide resettlement outcomes for refugees who would otherwise have continued to face uncertain futures," New Zealand Minister for Immigration Kris Faafoi said in a statement.
