Member for Manus Ronny Knight said, there is no way asylum seekers will be settled in his province.
This comes after the government announced last week, it would allow the temporary resettlement of refugees, from the island's Australian detention centre, which would eventually lead to permanent resettlement. Ronny Knight said, about 96 percent of P-N-G's land is customarily owned and the government doesn't have enough of its own, to permanently settle the refugees. Mr Knight told Radio New Zealand International, that even if the refugees were resettled locally, they would not be able to survive in the communities on subsistence living.
