Our government has initially been unreceptive, presumably worried that accepting one small group will force accepting many more.
Since these people want to retain there identity, presumably they would like another island rather than move into a city, so we would have to consult the occupants of our islands - e.g. Torres Strait Islanders...
Mmm good point psyber.
I don't see how you could put them in the middle of the outback or somewhere secluded where they could continue to retain their own identity... it just wouldn't work on many levels.
Will be interesting to see what eventually does happen, as obviously something will be happening. It also says they have contacted New Zealand as well... so wonder what their thoughts are on the situation. Perhaps we/they should be all working together on this (or maybe they already are).
