The cost includes $131 million to support refugees who are prevented from working, and who are paid an equivalent welfare payment each fortnight.

According to the Australian department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), between the years of 2013-2014 Australia accepted over 6500 refugees.

Although war, natural disaster and persecution are awful circumstances to be involved in Australia needs to put its own people first.

According to Social Policy Research Centre at the University of New South Wales 11.1% of Australians are under the austere poverty line 412,000 of those being children. How are we letting unidentified, visa less foreigners into our country without their own contribution to our community? If we chose to accept a certain amount of refugees then what is stopping us from accepting them all? Is it money? Is it space? Why not accept them

‘The Tampa Decision: Examining the Australian Government’s prerogative power to detain and expel unlawful non-citizens in 2001’ The executive power of the Commonwealth has largely been neglected, both by the High Court and by commentators, receiving scant attention in comparison with the Commonwealth 's legislative and judicial powers. However, it was just fourteen years ago, in 2001, when a Norwegian cargo vessel MV Tampa being denied entry into Australia after rescuing 438 asylum seekers sparked one of the most controversial yet illuminating civil cases in Australian legal history. The result was a civil suit (Ruddock vs Vadarlis 2001) in which the Federal Government successfully appealed the initial ruling to the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia, where it was found that the government does indeed possess a prerogative power to prevent the entry of non-citizens into

In Australia, refugees and asylum seekers are treated like the enemy in a war: the target of a highly resourced, military-led “deterrence” strategy complete with arbitrary detainment, detention camps, guards to terrorise them, forced deportations and the violent suppression of those who protest. Australia is failing to meet the standards required when regarding the treatment of asylum seekers. It is fact that asylum seekers make up less than 3% of Australia’s annual immigration yet the idea is being distorted to that of which they will overpopulate a country that prides itself on being a multicultural society. I want to shed light on the misconception that asylum seekers are not ‘legal’ when in actual fact it is a human right to seek freedom.
