They've sent those poor Burmese asylum seekers to Nauru. It'll cost a fortune in taxpayer's money: it cost $14.9 million to run the place empty for six months. Whatever you think about asylum seekers, that's just an unbelieveable waste. Nauru seems to be sick of the whole business: they're charging Australia $16,000 just for visas for the Burmese prisoners' first ninety days on the island.

Nauru are going to need the cash when the island is submerged by global warming anyway - get all the cash while you can! in fact, if you boost your prices outragheously high it'll put more pressure on the Howard government *snorts at the oxymoron* to stop sending there! yay!
