| Sending asylum seekers to Papua New Guinea is no different to housing them in Nauru under the failed Pacific Solution, Amnesty International says.
Amnesty and refugee groups have criticised plans to reopen the Manus Island detention centre, after a memorandum of understanding agreeing to establish the centre was signed between Australia and PNG yesterday.
The human rights organisation said the development was yet another bad policy move which would revive a central plank of the former Howard government's failed Pacific Solution.
