For those who reckon, like a stupid Liberal pollie whose name is Kelly that Australia is punching above its weight on refugees ~ here is the reality check. We suck!
Click here. Quote:Refugees recognised: Australia ranks 32nd in terms of the number of people who are found to be refugees after arriving in Australia seeking asylum.
Total intake: Australia ranks 22nd in terms of its total refugee intake.
Selective cherry picking of statistics from the leftists here.
We have a UN obligation to take in about 13,000 refugees every year which we do.
We have offshore and onshore categories, those illegal country shopping economic migrants who pay people smugglers queue jump the genuine refugees and displace them from our 13,000 Un refugee obligation.
We took in 5,937 genuine refugees from camps around the world and are rated 2nd in the world per 1000 people for this.
If we didnt have illegal boat people pushing in we would be taking in 13,000 people from refugee camps which would have us ranked #1, the illegal boat people are taking the places of genuine refugees which is why there are only 5,937 refugees listed dropping our rank to 2nd per 1000 people, the 7000+ who came in by boat have displaced genuine refugees to make our total of around 13,000.
The leftists seem to hate those with money yet they always favour those who can afford to pay a people smuggler over those poor refugees who do the right thing, the hypocrisy from the leftists is mind boggling at times.
The religious wars between rival sects in Islam has produced a lot of refugees,(Syria for example) of course the leftists stick up for Islam which has the death penalty for the crime of atheism in 13 Islamic countries.
Islam has a 1400 year history of sunni vs shia battles they started with The Battle of the Camel and will continue while the ignorant leftists put respect for ancient beliefs before respect for humanity.
The leftists hurl slurs like bigot/racist/Islamophobe to any critic who points out the idiocy of the Islamic belief, they have no solution or ideas on how to stop these wars between rival sects of Islam so they suck up to Islam and try to impose Islamic blasphemy laws on critics of Islam hoping the problem will go away.
The murder of Salman Taseer in Pakistan shows it is considered blasphemy to oppose their blasphemy laws, why did our cricket team stop playing in Pakistan was it an Islamic terror threat that stopped them from going there?
