PNG to take only a "quota" of Rudd's boat people Kevin Rudd's PNG fix springs another leak. Who would have guessed that he pretended it was more than it was: Papua New Guinea has denied the two central elements of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's tough new asylum-seeker policy - that PNG will settle all those determined to be refugees and that none will end up in Australia. PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill says he has not agreed to settle all asylum seekers who are found to be refugees after processing on Manus Island and that Australia will need to take back a share of them. ""There is no agreement that all genuine refugees will be settled in PNG,"" Mr O'Neill told The Saturday Age. He said PNG would work with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to engage with other countries willing to take part in resettling those refugees. ""That includes Australia, New Zealand and all the other countries who are signatories to the UN conventions on refugees,"" he said.... Mr Rudd insisted during the election debate last Sunday evening that there was ""one simple principle"" in his new regime under which all asylum seekers arriving by boat are now being diverted to PNG and would be settled there. But Mr O'Neill said that while PNG was willing to help with resettling refugees, it could only take ""our quota"." So what is PNG's quota?
