Chewy, Our criteria allows some 60% more people gain refugee status than the UNCHR. All nations are different so it does promote country shopping.
As a nation we are useless. Like we live in too much cotton wool.
China, Russia and Iran supported Sri Lanka with it's war on terror. Same as Canada, Australia and the UK supported the US in fictional Iraq. In the case of Sri Lanka they actually had a valid terrorist enemy. China gets a safe highly stragegic port out of it at the annoyance of the US.
The support for the Tamil Tigers comes from the diaspora in the UK, US, Canada and Australia.
Not a good look.
If nobody can see how accepting the claims of asylum seekers based on rumour presents a diplomatic challenge and perhaps places the country in a vunerable position proves we are a useless nation. For so many and so much media to run around with claims of xenophobia, racism just serves to underline it.
We have had the so called bleeding hearts calling the nation racist for so long that people will not come here from fear, but white flighters can't get here quick enough. The real racist would join in the chorus knowing how effective it is at stemming non white immigration. Oh just had a thought, maybe that si the objective seeing nobody can ever offer substantial evidence for such a moronic claim.
