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."

    No, if they're following your plain they are clearly a failed country. E.g. you are stating clearly that adequate education isn't required, and implying that it probably isn't available.

    You know, the thing about pronouns is that a pronoun is supposed to stand in for a noun, so as to avoid needless repetition of the noun. It should be quite clear which noun has been replaced by a pronoun. If it is not clear, you should use the noun.

    I don't have a fucking clue who is following a "plain" (plan?) or which country you think has failed.
