Australia has adopted a law that facilitates the rapid deportation of refugees to Nauru, generating controversy related to human rights and conditions on the island.

The new Australian law allows for the rapid expulsion of foreign citizens with criminal records to Nauru, according to a 30-year agreement in exchange for 2.5 billion Australian dollars. The residents of Nauru have mixed opinions about receiving refugees, citing the precarious conditions of the infrastructure. Critics from Australia and human rights organizations highlight the risks associated with medical negligence and the lack of procedural guarantees for the expelled individuals.
