AUSTRALIA SENDS FIRST DEPORTEE TO NAURU UNDER A$2.5B OFFSHORE DEAL — RIGHTS COMMISSIONER SLAMS SECRECY

Australia has carried out the first deportation to Nauru under a A$2.5 billion, 30-year offshore resettlement deal, with officials declining to disclose key details. The Human Rights Commissioner warned the secrecy raises serious due-process and human-rights concerns, echoing criticism from legal and advocacy groups. Nauru says deportees will have freedom of movement and access to services funded by Australian payments; Canberra says those with cancelled visas must leave.
