Maybe they can go to work in the coal mines.
Then they'd put the kids out of work!
Even Australia is green washing? What a joke...
Surprised about the other countries, as a kiwi
To be it looks like Australia's getting the better end of the deal with Tuvalu essentially agreeing to be a military foothold of Australia in the Pacific.
It's 280 people a year max visa agreement when Tuvalu has 11,000 people. Australia's getting a much better deal.
Only 40 years to resettle their entire population, by which time they'll basically be Atlantis.
But where? I wouldn't be surprised if Australia puts them on Australia's North Coast.
Tuvalu only has 12,000 people. They could probably fit in the airport.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a new pact with the low-lying island country of Tuvalu, allowing residents facing displacement from climate change the ability to resettle in Australia.
The agreement comes as Tuvalu's viability is threatened by rising sea levels as climate change escalates, with the country flagging a potential move into the digital world.
"It's not just a milestone but a giant leap forward in our joint mission to ensure regional stability, sustainability and prosperity," he said.
Anna Powles, a Pacific expert and senior lecturer in defence and security at Massey University, told the ABC the agreement happened "at speed and under immense secrecy".
She said the treaty would provide a model that some smaller Pacific countries also threatened by climate change, such as Nauru and Kiribati, may be encouraged to consider.
Australia's role in the region, and the fact it continues to expand its coal and gas industries as the world approaches a climate tipping point, was seen as motivation by some Pacific watchers for Mr Albanese to come armed with climate-focused announcements, such as the Tuvalu agreement.
