They will be housed in a detention centre in the centre of the island. There most of them will have their asylum claims processed by United Nations refugee officials. About a third will be flown to New Zealand.
They still want to go to Australia, even though they're not happy about the way they have been treated by the Australian government - which has spent about �12 million keeping the refugees from its shores.
