An advisor for some of the Danish MPs who were stopped from travelling to Nauru on a fact-finding mission last week says he's not surprised it happened.
The cross-party delegation cancelled its planned visit after the Nauru government said three of its members were not welcome.
Niels Rohleder is the legal and migration affairs advisor for the Red-Green Alliance, a left wing party whose MP, Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen, was one of the three who weren't allowed.
Mr Rohleder told Don Wiseman he believes Ms Schmidt-Nielsen was banned because of her criticism of Australia's controversial offshore detention regime.
