Australian officials have held "constructive" talks with their Papua New Guinea counterparts about the future of the Manus Island immigration detention centre.
The centre's future was cast into doubt by a PNG Supreme Court ruling it was illegal, and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said on Monday it could take months to resolve the matter.
"We will have what I think will be detailed and long-run discussions with PNG to help them in relation to this particular issue," he told reporters in Brisbane.
