A PLAN to resettle asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea is an "agreement between two madmen", opposition leader Belden Namah says.
Mr Namah told the ABC from Singapore prime ministers Peter O'Neill and Kevin Rudd had no regard for UN conventions.
"Peter O'Neill is making decisions like a chicken with no head," he said.
"It is an agreement between two madmen."
Australia and PNG agreed on Friday that asylum seekers travelling to Australia by boat will be turned away, processed and potentially resettled in PNG.
Mr Namah called for the agreement to be debated in the nation's single house of parliament.
PNG has bigger problems than refugee processing, he said, and should not make money from asylum seekers.
Prime Minister Peter O'Neill says the scheme will boost the national economy.
"The problem in PNG is not money," Mr Namah said."It's not about bad financial management and corruption."
He said it was kowtowing to old colonial masters.
"Do we need to make money off asylum seekers? No."
