Australia's Pacific Solution

An investigation into how asyium seekers have been "sold" to third nations for millions of dollars by the Australian government. In this Correspondent film, reporter Sarah Macdonald goes undercover on the small Pacific island of Nauru which has become a closed jail to 800 Afghan and Iraqi asylum seekers for almost a year. She examines claims that this solution was just a political vote-winner and whether claims of brutality are justified.
