Yes, it is saying exactly that... Welcome to how politics works...^ Thats like saying, let the ripples start in the pond and then we will drop the stone.
The link you provided proves my point... of the amount of refugees RESETTLED!, Australia's resettlement rate is 2nd per capita in the world... Disregard all those who are living in refugee camps for one second and understand those individuals have not been resettled... They are simply in limbo within the places you mentioned and have not had resettlement plans finalised (hence why many of them choose to "jump the queue," so to speak and seek asylum through ostensibly illegitimate means)...http://www.refugeecouncil.org.au/r/stat-int.php
Out of 15 million international refugees we take in only around 10k a year... yeah were being swamped.
2nd per capita in the world? Yeah more like last place on the planet. Jordan, Pakistan, Germany, Kenya EASILY beats us in having more refugees. The rest of the world is already increasing their intakes. We are second in relocation which doesn't really mean shit when its only like 10k a year.
Who gives a shit about economic impact when this is an HUMANITARIAN aspect. Do you seriously suggest that we cannot afford it? Puhleez. We spend so much time "stopping the boats" we divert attention and resources away from fuckers who rort our visa system and we don't put in place enough investigative staff.
Lots of Aussies are natively from what would be considered "Refugee" background, if you're italian, greek, irish, eastern euro blooded that came her since 1910, you pretty much have family members who are getting the fuck out of europe for good reason. same goes for the massive waves of lebanese during the 80s.
