@fractalign I agree on health checks and basic security check keeping in mind they mostly come from lawless countries with little if any police force and who would love them to be returned for persecution, but not to detain for years with little access to lawyers or outside contact. Every working citizen pays tax rent for food. Minimum wage in Australia after expenses you aren't really going to send a lot back home. Other countries with worse refugee problems have more respect than Australia

@hakaboy6924 there is a reason why the government detains refugees before they complete their back ground checks and that is to make sure they do not have criminal

pasts, to release them before these checks would not only be foolish but potentially

dangerous,and another thing they do not contribute to the local economy when every

dollar they earn they send back home and every job they accept is at the expense of an

Australian citizen ! I speak from personal experience too !

Learn to spell before you complain about the IQ of others. Sounds like you have the fish brain mate.

I have lived in several countries that are alot smaller than Australia and except alot more refugees, and there citizens would never dream of locking them up at taxpayer expenses. Far better to allow them into the communities allow charities to support them and allow them to work after health checks and while awaiting background checks etc. Make them work for the economy instead of a drain
