He said 531 people had left Nauru and Manus Island to make new homes in the US and a further 295 were approved to go and were waiting on travel arrangements.

Another 95 people had either pulled out of the Americans' "extreme vetting" process or turned down resettlement offers."I don't think we'll get to the 1250 because there's been ... over 300 that have been rejected by the United States for various reasons." When the deal was struck between then leaders Malcolm Turnbull and Barack Obama, it was understood Australia would offer a quid pro quo by taking some asylum seekers from the US, expected to come from camps in Costa Rica.

Mr Turnbull later told US President Donald Trump that under the deal, "We are taking people from the previous administration that they were very keen on getting out of the United States... We will take anyone that you want us to take." Australia has settled two Rwandan men accused of murder who were in legal limbo in the US, although the government insists they passed stringent security checks."Under the arrangement that we had with the United States ... there were people coming from Nauru and Manus to the United States, and not people coming this way," he said.
