Nauru supports Dutton’s ongoing immigration role

Nauru’s Justice Minister David Adeang has welcomed the announcement from new Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton would continue in the role.

Mr Adeang said the Nauru Government has a close and cooperative working relationship with Australian immigration authorities and that Mr Dutton has always been a good friend of Nauru.

“A new minister always breaks continuity in some way, and Mr Dutton has spent considerable time getting to know Nauru, our culture, and many of our people,” he said.

“He understands the progress our Government has made, has many connections here, and is always available when we need to discuss the ongoing partnership.

“It is welcome news that he will remain as Minister and we look forward to continuing to work with him and the Turnbull Government.”
