As i posted earlier......The refugee numbers to Aus have been totally in line with world trends.
During Howards time was the lowest number of Asylum Seekers world wide for the past twelve years.
It follows the trends of wars etc.

if you searched for the data for this you would find the truth. But something tells me you don't want to find that.

The change of Gov't overlapped with the Sri Lankan crisis, and Afghanistan.

When: 29 Jun 12 02:15
The number seeking entry to OECD countries rose again after the mid-2000s. Several factors contributed to this rise. In 2005 a state of emergency was declared in Sri Lanka. In 2007 the US troop surge in Afghanistan commenced, which provoked further outflows of refugees.

In 2008 the Sri Lankan Government withdrew from the cease fire with the Tamil Tigers and the civil war resumed. The result was another serge in asylum seekers to Australia and other OECD countries.

In the last two years of the Howard Government asylum seekers coming to Australia rose from 3,094 in 2005 to 4,009 in 2007. The UNHCR Report in 2010 ‘Asylum Levels and Trends in Industrialised Countries’ noted that asylum seeker numbers have gone up for the sixth consecutive year i.e. since 2004.

it is inequitable for sure AFL ... a huge dilemma for the world at large ... people unhappy with their lot .. and people in genuine danger

i guess the question others are asking is ... why do the boats head for australia

why dont they just head for indonesia .. or malaysia ... and stay

there has to be some side benefit .. in the boat people's minds ... that australia is worth heading for .. even if it costs you your life

... how did australia ever become a place of refuge .. that people will risk their lives .. and their life savings ... to come to when many other safe countries are along the route as well

... is it our policies (or lack of) ... that are attracting the "life or death" quest from these people


spot on Thebas, they are looking for the golden goose, the land of cream and honey our forebearers work damn hard to create.
the land of social security.

PUSH FACTORS FAR OUTWEIGH PULL FACTORS.

This is a fact proven by the figures world wide.

anything else is just political spin applied by politicians using the fear factor.

the fact is AFL they dont want to work once they get here, 85% still unemployed after 5 years and 31% living on disability pensions. This country cannot sustain further pressure on the australian welfare system and as it is multi culturism isnt working.

save lives, bring back the border security we had in place by howard and no i dont vote liberal.
