Critics dismissed as anti-offshore processing, not anti-Nauru

ABC RADIO AUSTRALIA - PACIFIC BEAT Updated August 2, 2010 16:45:25

Nauru's foreign affairs minister has dismissed comments in the Australian media that Nauru was simply out to make a buck by saying they were ready to sign the United Nations convention on refugees.

The comments about Nauru on the hot-button election issue of how to deal with asylum seekers were attributed to Labor party politicians.

Nauru wants Australia to re-open its abandoned detention centre on Nauru as part of its proposed regional asylum seekers processing centre.

Its foreign affairs minister, Dr Kieran Keke told Clement Paligaru in Palau where he was attending the Micronesian leaders meeting that money was not the main consideration.
