Well its up to them really they have 3 offers to take:

1) Free house, job (50k min per year) , education and healthcare for ten years if they want to stay on Manus Island/ PNG and then returned home.

2) Or they can go to Cambodia, once again free house, guaranteed income for 3 years, but they get Cambodian citizenship forever.

3) Or we will fly them home and give them $20,000 cash as a farewell gift.

Those that remain have declined those. Keep in mind most have flown in an out of several countries before they attempt the water trip, there not refugees from Indonesia ;) and if they have any claim as a refugee or can show in the slightest they are.. more than likely they are processed and living in Aus already.
