'We hear that there's many fighting in Cambodia. Also it's a very poor country. It's more poor than Nauru. How we can stay there?

A spokesperson for the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection told Daily Mail 'The government can confirm that a 15 year old girl was transferred to Australia from Nauru on 26 September for medical treatment.

'A family member has accompanied her to Australia.

'The girl is currently in Australia receiving medical treatment.

'It is long standing government practice not to confirm or comment on reports of individual acts of self-harm.'

'The Minister has been advised that the department is aware that some transferees are engaging in peaceful protest activity in Nauru, and is working with its service providers to ensure the continued safety and good order of the facility.'

Morrison's agreement has been widely criticised, largely due to Cambodia being a poverty-stricken nation.

The plan has been condemned by Cambodia's opposition group, who said the Australian money from the deal would be corruptly spent by Cambodia's ruling party.

Human rights and aid groups in Cambodia have called the deal disgraceful, since the country has a terrible record for protecting refugees. 

There have also been significant protests outside the Australian embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 

Hundreds gathered there to demand Australia renounces the agreement. On Friday, One protester was knocked over by riot police and escorted from the rally bleeding from the head.
