Nauru is also famous as an easy mill to get your commemorative stamp or coin issued. Back in the bad old days of the internet, when you couldn't get a .com address you could always get a .nu, .nr or .cx. They were generally an indicator of low-rent, trashy content in an era before myspace. I always thought .nu was Nauru but that was .nr; .nu is Niue and apparently Niue is gorgeous.
It's horrifying. They've just closed the centre (no food, no water and no protection) and our piece of shit government still won't take these poor men in, despite massive protests. Worse, they won't let anyone else take them either! At this stage, we're just hoping that New Zealand give us the finger and just go in and TAKE them. And then initiate proceedings to charge Dutton and co. with human rights abuses.
