The UK government's controversial Rwanda Bill passed through parliament this week and British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak has already announced the first flights to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda will take off in 10 to 12 weeks.

On the panel set up to oversee the UK's plan to send migrants to Rwanda is former Australian foreign minister, Alexander Downer. He says he's one of the few people who have visited both Naru and Rwanda - and says conditions in Rwanda are certainly adequate and make it an "appropriate place" for processing.
