Liberal MP Julia Banks has joined calls for children and their families to be removed from offshore detention in Nauru by accepting New Zealand’s resettlement offer.
Ms Banks says political point scoring by both of the major parties have resulted in a stalemate in which more than 50 children are still in offshore detention.
Following the leadership spill in August Ms Banks announced she would not recontest the next general election, but indicated she may run as an independent in an email to constituents.
