Tamil asylum seeker family cannot resettle in New Zealand or United StatesA family of Tamil asylum seekers detained on Christmas Island will not be resettled in New Zealand or the United States despite the Australian government previously indicating it was a possibility. If they are not classified as refugees then what does an agreement matter if NZ or US want them. Or is waisting millions that could be spent elsewhere more important.

Ooops - no election votes there.🤔 Just let them into Australia! FFS
