The Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has deemed the Manus Regional Processing Centre to be illegal, and has ordered its immediate shutdown.

In a statement, Prime Minister Peter O’Neill has ordered the Australian government to find alternative arrangements for the asylum seekers already at the centre.

Madeline Gleeson of the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at UNSW joined The Daily to discuss the court ruling, the refugees and the future of Manus Island.
