Greg Sheridan, Foreign Editor, ‘The Australian’:
‘…are we dealing with a genuine refugee exodus or is this just determined immigration? The refugee acceptance rates in Australia are much higher than those in UN camps overseas or evaluations made by other countries. About half the applications are rejected at their first evaluation but then the vast majority of these are accepted on appeal, especially in the courts. There are multiple, lengthy layers of appeal in the Australian system. The courts handle these questions with integrity, but the overall elite legal/social atmosphere is extremely sympathetic to claimants. Once a claimant has disposed of identity documents and tells the correctly formulated story, there is no way of verifying, or falsifying, it. Therefore the courts overwhelmingly give the benefit of the doubt to the claimant.’

“..The Immigration Department’s figures, released last year, revealed that five years after arrival the rate of employment – not unemployment but employment – of Afghans was 9 per cent, while 94 per cent of Afghan households received Centrelink payments. From Iraq, 12 per cent were employed while 93 per cent of families received Centrelink payments. Overall, households that came under the humanitarian program had 85 per cent receiving Centrelink payments after five years. The family reunion cohort had 38 per cent, and skilled migration 28 per cent.”
It’s not “determined immigration”, it is “determined INVASION”.
The fact that Greg Sheriden put this question in the interrogative at all, suggests that he has not really been paying attention, or is being extremely disingenuous. Of course it is a determined invasion; and a very successful one that Abbott will do nothing effective to stop come September.
I mentioned the Mohammed’s at work the other day, requesting paperwork that a non-English speaker accidently took.
Lady made a joke, I agreed but added “We wont be laughing in 20 years though” and the other ones retort “I strongly disagree”- after I’d said they behave while slight in numbers…
Not “You’re incorrect”. Emotive bullshit because she knows a good one. Go the fully enfranchised democracy!
