Australia is already full, it seems.

Is your home full? Perhaps some of them can seek asylum with you

Ok, I've learned my lessons...! Australia is not a Sovereign Nation Refugees have it worse off than Australian Aboriginals Individuals choosing to host Refugees is offensive - Only international-level Refugee migration is approved

When your country is a shithole every citizen is a potential asylum seeker. That’s nothing but an abuse of the system.

Did we ever find out how much the UK is paying Rwanda to take these people?

Presumably Rwanda isn't dealing with the UK's dirty laundry for free...

rescue.org (https://www.rescue.org/uk/article/why-uk-government-should-r... section 5) reports GBP 140m so far, GBP 120m on up front costs along with The Times reporting a further payment of GBP 20m.

The Migration Observatory (https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/commentaries... costs section) also cites the GBP 120m figure, along with a citation of Select committee evidence that there will be further per-person costs to HMG.

How many people does that pay for?

I could probably buy those people a lifelong holiday in a nice resort for that kind of money...

140 million to sign the deal with Rwanda. Will cost 100k GBP per applicant. Rwanda will 'process' 200 applicants a year.

Clearly that doesn't come close to solving anything and is expensive. It is a simple to explain non solution.
