"The Home Affairs minister, Tony Burke, revealed late last week he had visited
Nauru in August and signed a memorandum of understanding with its government.
Under the agreement, Nauru will grant long-term visas to members of a group
known as the “NZYQ cohort”. These people, many of whom have had visas cancelled
on character grounds or committed crimes, are in Australia on bridging visas
granted after a 2023 High Court case that centred on this group.
In return, the Australian government has agreed to pay A$408 million in the
first year and $70 million per year to support “resettlement efforts”. However,
the exact details remain unclear."
