Australia will pay Nauru to take in foreign-born criminals who can't be held indefinitely in Australia, following a High Court ruling. The deal, costing Australia hundreds of millions of dollars, allows for the resettlement of these individuals in Nauru with long-term visas. While the Australian government claims this solves a legal issue, critics argue the deal undermines fairness and potentially affects tens of thousands of people. The agreement's specifics, including the exact number of people involved, will be publicly released by both governments.
