The Department of Home Affairs released statistics on removals of Australian protected persons from July 2010 to May 2025. Data shows removals by birth country, with Papua New Guinea accounting for the majority of cases across the period (ranging from 5 to 62 removals annually), while Nauru removals were minimal and mostly suppressed due to confidentiality thresholds masking numbers below five. Total removals from Papua New Guinea across the fifteen-year period exceeded 432 individuals. The department notes data prior to July 2010 was unavailable for verification and states numbers under five are masked in accordance with current confidentiality policy, which is under review.
