"THE Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea says the Manus Regional Processing Centre will now be closed.
PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill announced the closure this afternoon after Australia’s detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island was ruled as illegal by a Papua New Guinea Supreme Court.
In a statement, Mr O’Neill said that his government “will immediately ask the Australian Government to make alternative arrangements for the asylum seekers”.
