Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans has said he has nearly finalised the cases involving a large number of long-term detainees who have been held for up to six years.
The scheme was set up by the previous Howard government, which negotiated with a number of neighboring countries in the Pacific region, including Nauru, to establish offshore detention centers.
Mr Evans has also announced that all refugees on temporary protection visas will be granted permanent residency.
