"She does not have relatives here, she doesn't have family. She's extremely vulnerable here.

Boat people to be sent on to Malaysia, Papua New Guinea or another country A boatload of 32 asylum seekers believed to be from Afghanistan and Pakistan found in Australian waters will be the first to be sent to Malaysia, Papua New Guinea or another country under a contentious new strategy to deter future refugees from making the same journey. Following recent riots in Australia's detention centres, the government has announced a controversial agreement with Kuala Lumpur to send 800 boat people arriving on its shores to Malaysia, where they will have their claims processed by the UN. In exchange, it has made a commitment to accept 4,000 asylum seekers over the next four years from among the thousands of people currently waiting in Malaysia. It is negotiating with Papua New Guinea to accept hundreds more. The issue of the boat people has been haunting the Labor government since the 2007 election. One of its first measures was to dismantle the outgoing coalition government's Pacific solution, which involved sending migrants to remote Pacific islands until their case could be reviewed.
