00:00No flags and zero fanfare.
00:05Are you able to see why you were visiting?
00:08David Adiang slipping into Parliament's Senate entrance before leaving just half an hour later.
00:15Mr Adiang, was there any discussion of deportations to your country?
00:18The purpose? A meeting with Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke.
00:22The details? That's not clear, with Mr Burke saying only he had a productive meeting with Nauru's
00:28President Adiang today in Canberra and that the relationship between our countries is critical on a range of issues.
00:36Confirmation coming after the ABC made inquiries with the government.
00:41This government does have a growing problem with secrecy.
00:45The meeting taking place less than two weeks after the first NZYQ detainee was sent to Nauru
00:51under a multi-billion dollar deal to take Australia's foreign-born criminals.
00:57This is a two and a half billion dollar deal, we think, we think, because it hasn't been disclosed.
01:03We engage regularly with the Nauru government, that's a matter of public record.
01:09Mr Adiang's quiet visit also coming in the wake of jaw-dropping allegations that bikey gangs
01:15have won a lucrative contract to provide security for former immigration detainees in Nauru.
01:21The situation that's playing out before our eyes is extraordinary.
01:25The government's quick to stress that this trip wasn't sparked by the recent headlines
01:29and was planned well in advance of the most recent controversy.
01:33It also denies that the visit was secretive, saying it wasn't an official bilateral visit
01:39and that President Adiang attended other public events in Canberra.
01:43But given the enormous political controversy over the bilateral relationship with Nauru
01:49and the very high-profile, very expensive deal over the NZYQ cohort,
01:55a level of political tumult over this unannounced trip is inevitable.
02:01that happens to be of a small supremacy that represents the highest resolution of the World War War,
02:04and to be able to think about it, we can be aware of that as much as possible,
02:05as possible, the most likely to be able to improve the world of define ourselves.
02:07That's something that we're feeling and that it's quite significant.
02:09You should be feeling and that we're feeling and that we're feeling in the right way in the right direction.
02:11Have a great glance, it's been sort of relatively wide-breaking situation and it's been seen in the right direction,
02:13because it's been the right direction of the world.
02:15I'm not the right direction.
02:17But then you're not the right direction of the East Coast,
02:20but that's the biggest government perspective.
02:22How to do this?
02:24The US and the right direction of the US,
02:25is the right direction of the US.
02:26What we're looking at the US?
