The island in the territorial waters of Papua New Guinea is one of the places that used the Australian authorities to hold asylum seekers from the Middle East and South Asia. However, the presence of immigrants there, O'Neill said, has damaged the reputation of the island.

Anyone who goes to Australia by ship or boat captured. They were then sent to a detention center on Manus and Nauru, the Pacific Ocean. Moreover, Australia also sent back to the country of origin of immigrants or asylum seekers.
O'Neill also said the detention center on Manus in the end to be closed. Country does not have the resources to resettle immigrants. However, the final decision depends Australia.

"At a certain stage, of course, we must close the detention center. These people can not remain in Manus forever. However, it is entirely up to Australia, "said O'Neill, as released by Reuters.

Responding to a question about whether a detention facility has damaged the reputation of Papua New Guinea, O'Neill said the issue had damaged its territory.
