Australia accepts Iraqi refugees from Nauru

Australia has accepted a group of Iraqi refugees from Nauru after a recent review found their home country not conducive to return. The UN refugee agency has welcomed this move, and urged the Canberra government to grant complementary protection to the rest of the group until the situation improves in Iraq.

For background on Nauru, listen to this great story from This American Life
