Refugees are by definiton, seeking a safe refuge. Should a refugee expect the luxury of choice of countries offering such refuge?

 

Surely a genuine refugee would breathe a sigh of relief at being offered refuge in PNG which is a safe country to live in if one is careful.

 

If a refugee has an offer of refuge in any other country and refuses it, then any reasonable person might question if the conditions they are fleeing are as bad as is claimed.


PNG is not a safe country..... go and have a look at the travel advice. 

 

And this is an ok idea but I think TPV should be included and we shoudl still take people... 

 

Do you know how close PNG is to Australia... I can see them making one last boat trip and arriving at the top end via dingy. PNG's do it often...
