That or this administration is incapable of diplomacy. Australia is a peaceful ally, why not honor an ethical agreement with them regardless of who signed off on the agreement? The immigration ban is already known to be highly selective in nature, such diplomacy can’t possibly harm the Bannon-Trump reputation.

Tony was rolled in a leadership spill in september 2015, at which point Turnbull was installed as leader.

the commentary about the governmental behaviour tho, is sadly correct….we’ve attempted to send some of the refugees to Cambodia; only 4 took the offer initially, two bolted back home. the other two cost 55 million(!!) http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/blow-to-australias-55-million-cambodia-deal-as-two-more-refugees-reportedly-leave-20160308-gnda8q.html

another two were flown over at the end of last year, but ultimately only one refugee remains for the 50 + million spent

The ones on Nauru and Manaus islands btw are costing around a half million per refugee per year.

thats another big reason for Turnbull to push Trump to honour the agreement; the longer they languish the more it costs us, and they are not cheap to keep in ‘offshore processing’. quite frankly its surprising the government hasnt crumbled and allowed a once off intake from the group on the islands now, but this conservative* govt is particularly hard headed and hearted.

*note that Liberal party in Australia are conservative, the left parties are Labor and Greens. ive wondered since the phone call blowup if Trump thought that Liberal meant left, and acted accordingly?
