PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd has announced a new refugee plan with the Pacific Island nation of Nauru, which like Australia's recent deal with Papua New Guinea, will deny boat people the chance to be resettled in Australia.
Mr Rudd and the President of the Republic of Nauru Baron Waqa signed the memorandum of understanding at a press conference in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Nauru deal is the latest salvo in Mr Rudd's tough new approach to asylum seekers, and comes just a day after it was revealed that the government's policy of sending boat people to Papua New Guinea would cost $1.1 billion.
Under the PNG plan, asylum seekers who arrive by boat will be told they have no chance of resettlement in Australia.
Under the agreement it will now be possible for asylum seekers to not only be processed in Nauru, but also be settled there.
"No matter where people smugglers try to land asylum seekers by boat in Australia, they will not be settled in Australia," Mr Rudd said.
"This is our core principle, this is our core unshakable position".
