Subjects: Coalition talks with Nauru Government and Opposition, Nauru Government and Opposition’s willingness to enter negotiations for reopening of offshore processing facility

E&OE...

JULIE BISHOP    This morning my colleague Scott Morrison and I have been speaking with Dr Keke, the Foreign Minister of Nauru. I have spoken by telephone and now met him and Scott has been meeting with Dr Keke. Dr Keke has indicated the willingness of the Nauru Government to assist Australia should it so request with the reestablishment and the opening up again of the Australian taxpayer funded detention centre facility on Nauru. It is a fact that the previous Coalition Government took decisive action to stop the flow of boats via the people smuggling trade and we had a number of initiatives in place which included the establishment of an offshore processing centre on Nauru. It was purpose built, it was funded by the Australian taxpayer and it remains available to be used again as an offshore processing centre.
