On Saturday, Australia was about to move the last refugee from offshore processing on Nauru, ostensibly ending the second iteration of offshore processing on the Pacific island, after nearly 11 years.
Several refugees were flown to Canada this week for resettlement, while the rest have been brought to Australia temporarily. Two asylum seekers will remain on the island for domestic legal reasons. A policy that was only ever intended to be temporary lasted more than a decade, at immense human and financial cost.
