There’s over 100 refugee children on Nauru, some self-harming, some suffering resignation syndrome. All have no hope Aust will look after them but one country wants to. At this week’s Pacific Island Forum, I urge Minister Payne to take up NZ’s resettlement offer #KidsOffNauru.

How can a minister for mental health ignore the mental health of children that remain Australia’s duty of care? This govt has no shame.
