Australia - Nauru refugee quietly arrives

[geovalin]

The Australian government has quietly transferred another refugee from Nauru to Cambodia, the Kingdom’s refugee director confirmed this week.

 

The man, who fled war-torn Syria, was sent from the island detention centre of Nauru to Phnom Penh before Khmer New Year, according to General Tan Sovichea, head of the Interior Ministry’s Refugee Department.

 

The Syrian man was one of two refugees who had expressed interest in relocating to the Kingdom in recent months. But Sovichea said on Tuesday that the second man had in the end “changed his mind”.

If you look at how much is habitable there's probably not a lot more than the UK. Not everyone could live in a place like Coober Pedy.

The locals are taught that. Where as everywhere else, Australia is considered 1 of the 7 world continents, the smallest if I remember correctly. I take it you are local? But iether way , island/continent whatever . Lol
