...That's enough to aggravate pre-existing xenophobia and apartheid in

Small numbers of refugees in Australia: UN

June 19, 2013 - 4:50PM

Australia hosted just 0.3 per cent of the world's refugees by the end of the
2012, the United Nation says.

Of the 88,600 refugees resettled around the world in last year, Australia
took 5900 while the United States resettled the most refugees by far at
66,300, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) report said.

Out of 9.9 million registered refugees worldwide, only 30,000 were in
Australia, or 0.3 per cent, while Pakistan hosted 1.6 million people, or 17
per cent of the global total.

Australia's UNHCR representative Richard Towle says about 23,000 people were
forced to flee their homes every day last year, which is more than the total
number seeking asylum in Australia in the whole of 2012.

"This reminds us that the number of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia
remains relatively small by global standards," he said in a statement on
Wednesday.

More than 12,000 people have arrived by boat this year.

But the report shows the overwhelming majority of displaced people turned to
developing countries, which hosted more than 80 per cent of the world's
refugees.

Pakistan and Iran accounted for a quarter.

"It's difficult for them to look after their own community let alone help
out millions of people over their borders and yet they do it," Mr Towle
said.

Meanwhile, almost 650,000 refugees fled Syria's civil war in 2012 - the
largest exodus of people in a year since the Kosovo war.

That number has now soared to around 1.6 million, surpassing last year's
total from all conflicts.

And without a resolution to the conflict soon, Mr Towle warns that number
could double by the end of the year.

The UNHCR data showed an extra 7.6 million people were displaced globally in
2012, including 1.1 million new refugees, mainly due to conflicts or
persecution.

By the end of 2012, there were 45.2 million forcibly displaced people
worldwide, of which 15.4 million were refugees.

5,900/88,600 would be more like 6-7%. Even Wayne Swan would see that.

The numbers this year will be around 20,000, giving us 25% of the global
'share'. Are you a moron?

No you are--again
Percentage of world's refugees is not the same as resettled refugees per
year.

Dear Mr Torpedo,

Your application for immigration to Australia has been rejected. We
hope this doesn't cause any lingering resentment.

How about making this retrospective?
Send all white people and their descendants back to Europe where they came
from.

What has that got to do with anything?
Can the Arabs come here and stay if they build everything and make Australia
into Arabia?

ALL refugees in the world are Moslem and have been for over 1400 years
or since the begriming of Islam
Others claiming to be "refugees" are economic or "Asylum shoppers"
The problem is Islam until this is recognized nothing will change

Let�s see how decent Moslem countries are to the refugees Islam created.
* Moslem Saudi Arabia takes none, not a single Iraqi even, and is busy building a state of the art border fence. The Saudis won�t take Rohingya either.

* No Moslem country is willing to take in the Palestinians from Gaza.

* No Moslem country is willing to take the Iraqi Palestinians trapped at the border of Iraq and Syria. Those Palestinians have noted the hypocrisy of their so-called Arab brothers.

* In Moslem Egypt refugees trying to cross the border are shot.

* In Moslem Turkey refugees are immediately expelled and some, forced by Turkish authorities to swim across a river to leave Turkey, died in the process.

* Bangladesh, a Moslem country, is sending Rohingya Moslems back to Burma. Likewise, Indonesia is returning Rohingya boat men back to persecution in Burma.

* Moslem Malaysia has been cited for its abuse of refugees as well.

The only Nations to mistakenly welcome Moslem refugees have a Judeo-Christian historical tradition � not an Islamic Sharia history.

Bullshit as usual.
Australia has been settled by European refugees who fled Christian
persecution in Europe.

Nonsense
Australia was settled by mainly people who were good at mining
To do this "conscript gangs" rounded mainly miners from mining
communities to dig holes and build
