The Australian Prime Minister's new support for relocating asylum seekers detained in Nauru
The Australian Prime Minister's new support for relocating asylum seekers detained in Nauru, is being called insincere and a political ploy
17 October 2018
Scott Morrison's urging Parliament to pass a bill allowing refugees to resettle here in New Zealand, but only if any backdoor access to Australia is sealed off.
Australia correspondent Steve Price is not buying the change of tune.
He says it's a transparent ploy to those voting in a critical by-election this weekend... with the Government one seat away from losing its majority.
Price says this positioning is all about trying to convince voters in Wentworth - Malcolm Turnbull's former seat - that he's trying harder to help the people in Nauru.
