    There are a number of these people who have been offered settlement in the US and they refused. They claim to be in danger of their lives yet they travel through dozens of SAFE countries to get to Australia. They are not refugees they are gimmigrants who choose Australia for the benefits they know they can get. They were warned repeatedly not to come by boat or they would not be accepted and yet they came regardless.

      Novak absolutely refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19, and Australian law at the time disallowed anyone entering the country unvaccinated on national health and welfare grounds . It's a simple matter. He knew this and decided to try to bypass the law to suit his own purposes. He had already contracted COVID more than once so the ban was justified to prevent him carrying the virus into the country and infecting Australians. Completely different to Australia's awful and unlawful (international law) treatment of asylum seekers and refugees . Why this program conflates the altogether different situations is beyond me. Novak was NOT an asylum seeker or refugee obviously. He was a tennis professional entering the country to play in a tennis tournament!

    Thank you for this story, from one of the Australians who cares, has tried but is frankly at a loss as to how our country comes back from this. The sad truth is that we're unlikely to compassionately respond to people seeking asylum until we deal with the fact that Australia was founded on the forced migration, enslavement and torture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for 200+ years.

      UN charter into asylum seekers says,
      You can apply for asylum in the closest country to which ever the asylum seeker belongs, if that country is not at War.. NOT the country with the better health care. There are 5 countries not at war sitting between the country the asylum seeker left and Australia. SO why not go to the closest country NOT at war. Don't just select a country of YOUR choosing which ever one has the better Government had outs, As those hand outs are there for the needs of the citizens of that country.

    There is much that is factually correct in this video (including the dreadful policy and treatment of asylum seeker and refugee arrivals chiefly by boat since 2001) , but one misleading statement is the failure to mention the 1967 Protocol of the 1951 Refugee Convention to which Australia is a state party that "removed the geographic and temporal limits of the 1951 Convention" (which up to that time limited its scope to peoples fleeing events prior to 1 January 1951 within Europe). It was not Australia that "created" and applied the 'pre-1 Jan 1951 within Europe' limitation in the the original Refugee Convention (the video implies that Australia unilaterally chose to apply this limitation during the 1950s and 1960s ); it was the UN and all state parties that signed it . Australia, in that regard, adhered to the scope of the 1951 Refugee Convention from 1954 to 1967 (when its scope was widened to include all refugees globally). Nevertheless, despite its cruel treatment of asylum seekers and refugees largely coming to Australia via boat since 2001, Australia has accepted and settled around 12,000-13,000 refugees/asylum seekers on average per year since WW2. For its population (9 million in 1970, 27 million in 2021), on a comparative basis, this has been very generous . Australia has settled over 1 MILLION REFUGEES since WW2.
