Bomber78 feels sorry for "real refugees
who can't afford a 5k ticket to Australia."

There are no unreal refugees. They are
all fleeing real dangers and real panic.

There are no Qantas or migration offices
in the back-blocks of war-torn Iraq or
Afganistan or Sri Lamka or Syria. All
there is is man who knows man who
(for a fat fee) can arrange passage
to safety and a better life. Real
refugees will go to any lengths
to get to Australia - the land
of sunshine and the Fair Go.

I see nothing bad in any of that.
In 1865 my great grandparents
boarded a tall ship - and they
sailed away to the furtherest
ends of the Earth: Australia.
