AUSTRALIA will deport three criminals to Nauru even though they are not citizens of the Pacific island nation under a scheme to offshore immigrants.
The move follows a court ruling that dangerous immigrants can no longer be detained indefinitely.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said on Sunday that three “violent offenders” had been issued 30-year Nauru visas.
