But do they have environmental refugee policy like New Zealand? I saw 
a program this morning that was about Kirabati and that their people 
are already immigrating to Auckland. Their PM or President (leader) 
says their country won't be around in 50 years. 10s of thousands are 
still living on the island. They'll need a place to go. Will 
Australia open its doors? What about the other Pacific Islands? If 
this is all real, The Pacific Solution will soon have an entirely 
different meaning than it does right now.
