     (ii) New Zealand Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Jacinda Ardern, has confirmed New Zealand's commitment to resettle 150 refugees sent by Australia to Manus Island and Nauru, stating that the offer remains "firmly on the table", and

     (iii) Prime Minister Ardern will again raise her country's offer to accept 150 refugees sent by Australia to Manus Island and Nauru when she meets Prime Minister Turnbull at the East Asia Summit in the Philippines this week; and

  (b) calls on Prime Minister Turnbull to accept New Zealand's offer to resettle 150 refugees sent by Australia to Manus Island and Nauru.
