The New South Wales government paid for a homeless man in Wagga Wagga to be sent back to New Zealand instead of offering him temporary accommodation. This was part of an effort to clear out an encampment by a river, which local council and state government have been trying to do for several months.
The encampment has been the site of a tragic incident, with a newborn baby dying in May after its mother gave birth to twins in a tent.
The man was sent back to New Zealand, according to The Guardian Australia and The Guardian.
