Australia Abandons Camp Nauru

Actually I had forgotten all about them who were seeking a new life in Australia but were instead locked away in camps on remote islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Some 1,200 people, mostly Iraqis and Afghans were detained at Nauru in the past four years. Just 27 remain and 13 will soon fly to Australia. The country's PM says the method worked - without camp Nauru the country would still have a problem with illegal immigration.
