The people smugglers charge between $3-4000 for the boat trip and this is down from what it was prior to the PNG solution. Used to be more

On top of this the Iranians mostly arrived by air so add on at least another $1,000 for that.

I wonder how many working class, battling Aussies could even put together $5,000.

Even Carr (who a leftie) admitted 90% of the Iranians coming are just after a better life (economic immigrants) and that there's very little persecution in their home country involved.
