Nauru says its decision to accept asylum seekers on behalf of Australia has become a nightmare, amid reports that a fresh wave of boat people are on their way to Australia from Indonesia.The tiny Pacific island had agreed to take part in Australia’s ‘‘Pacific Solution’’, accepting more than 1,000 boat people while their asylum bids were processed in return for $17.14 million in aid.But Nauru President Rene Harris said the asylum seekers were still in his country despite a promise they would be gone by May 30 and the full amount of aid had not been received.‘‘That Pacific solution, as it has been named, has somehow become a bit of a Pacific nightmare for us,’’ he told Australian Broadcasting Corp television in Brisbane on Sunday.‘‘We’ve come to the end of the understanding period of six months. I don’t think we have got to even half of the promised amount.’’ But the Australian government said it had met its commitment to Nauru and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said he was seeking a meeting with Harris, who is in Australia.‘‘We’ve done our best to keep in touch. As a matter of fact, in the last month or so we’ve had quite a lot of contact with them,’’ Downer said on Monday. ‘‘We’ve fulfiled our obligations to them.we’re very grateful to Nauru for the assistance they’ve provided.’’
