Ben Doherty, a Senior reporter for Guardian Australia specializing in immigration policies, delves into Australia's controversial deportation deal with Nauru. He discusses the government's nearly $400 million plan to deport around 280 non-citizens, which critics have called discriminatory and secretive. The conversation highlights the lack of transparency in the arrangements and the potential humanitarian crises that could emerge. Doherty also examines the historical context of Australia's offshore detention policies and their impact on both deported individuals and Nauru itself.
