NZ refugee resettlement deal ‘on the table’

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says the refugee resettlement deal is still on the table but she has not been approached by the Australian government to accept it. Prime Minister Ardern said New Zealand’s longstanding offer to resettle asylum seekers in offshore detention “has not changed” but the “ball is obviously in Australia’s court”. Speaking to Sky News exclusively on Friday, she said “we’re still in the same status quo we’ve been in for some time”, insisting there had been “no discussions at that level”.
