Refugee burden

[***super_nova***]

Just for the records, Germany provides food, health care, financial support, education, housing and does NOT lock up people on remote islands. Italy with a significant refugee issue declares a day of national mourning when a boat capsizes on the Mediterranean and people drown.

Excellent!  Thanks for that.  I tried enlarging but that only made it worse.   The one I posted is the latest report , I don't think the statistics have changed much:

"During the year, a total of 88,600 refugees were admitted by 22 resettlement countries, including the United States 66,300, Canada 9,600, Australia 5,900 - being the Third Largest In The World intake per capita.  I think the "INFOrmation Graphic" should have included that information.    Does anyone else think 22 Countries is a very small number?

I posted that info to clarify the OPs statement.

meep i just replied to the last post which happened to be yourswasn't directed at you as such

it's all good and well for these pics to be posted, but they aren't telling the whole truth.

posters are trying to make out that Australia should be doing more, when in fact we do plenty.

those huge numbers quoted are in UN camps and not being supported by that countries government

Gosh... The ALP were rather mean in their handling of this situation wern't they???? 

[lakeland27]

yes, rudd was at least. now we are stuck with his policy. 

[bluecat*dancing]

Yes, they were as is the current government,

[just_me_karen]

I'm just laughing at the ppl who responded to the "clever person" post lmao.

Did anyone read that article in the New York Times about the journo who hitched a ride in an asylum seeker boat to Christmas Island? There's another article in the guardian today about that woman photographed crying when her boat arrived...the photo was used in propaganda. Both are worthwhile reading if ppl want to get a glimpse into the other side of the story (hint to clever people, this helps with developing a balanced, educated opinion)
