Of those in Australia, 145 are in detention, with more than 1000 living in the community, many with no financial security or any certainty regarding their futures. Of these, only about 250 have provisionally been approved for resettlement in the US. For those left, there is no current pathway for their resettlement.

Peace Action Wellington protesters blocked the gates to the Australian high commission in the capital in 2017, in a protest over the Manus Island refugees. These people, who have committed no crime, deserve better. They need to be reunited with loved ones, they need to be allowed to rebuild their lives in safety, and they need to be given the chance to hope again for happiness and security.

The vessels are scheduled to leave Australia on a heavy lift ship on May 20. Weather permitting, the OPM said they will arrive in Trinidad and Tobago in mid-July, after a six-seven-week journey.

Column Nearly a decade ago I decided to try my hand as a cryptographer. It went about as well as you might expect. I’d gotten the crazy idea to write a tool that would encrypt Twitter’s direct messages - sent in the clear - so that your private communications would truly be private, visible to no one, including Twitter.
Writing the code turned out to be surprising easy; as I wrote it all in Python, I had libraries to handle the Twitter integration, and the cryptography. I read up a bit on the theory, put the pieces together, and with a bit of debugging “CrypTweet” was up and running.
