| The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has provided a highly critical assessment of Labor's plan to send 600 asylum seekers to Manus Island.
In a letter to the Federal Government, António Guterres says PNG does not have the capacity to shoulder the responsibility of processing asylum seekers.
He says the Government has indicated it will be handing legal responsibility to PNG authorities, but points out there is no effective legal or regulatory framework in the country to deal with refugees.
Mr Guterres says there are no immigration officers in PNG with the skills to assess refugee applications and the Government's so-called " no advantage" is ambiguous because there is no average time for resettlement.
Mr Guterrers' warning came as the Government confirmed it had not begun assessing any refugee claims for asylum seekers who have arrived by boat since the offshore processing deal in August.
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Chris Bowen says all new arrivals, including those who are still in Australia, are not given any advantage over asylum seekers in overseas refugee camps.
