The AAP via the Herald Sun (News Corp) reports on a deal between the Australian government and the former U.S. administration. Under the arrangement, people seeking asylum in Australia—who have, controversially, been detained in centres on Nauru and on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea—would have been resettled in the United States. However, according to the story, the plan is now in question due to the change in leadership there.
According to The Guardian , "the U.S. could resettle zero refugees from Manus Island and Nauru and still be 'honouring' the deal."

When Australia/UK or America under Trump or Hillary go full 1984 and Americans are looking for another place to go I would be surprised if even before this president more than the UK or Australia was willing to take us in in great numbers. But whatever, guess we need to keep doing on to others as we would never do on to them. I suspect too many Americans would be seen as a 5th column, can't dare suggest the muslims in UK pushing shiria are doing that though.
