This seems like such a simple question... yet requires quite a complex response.
Australia is a signatory to the UNHCR Refugee Convention making them responsible to assist refugees seeking asylum. As a matter of security and border protection this is required to be achieved through controlled entry into Australia. The problem arises when asylum seekers use boats in an attempt to reach Australian shores. This is not controlled and could pose possible threats to the community. Before being allowed into Australia it is a requirement that they be in possession of a visa allowing them to enter the country.
There is no doubt that Australia needs to take asylum seekers in, but not through their unprecedented arrivals.
So to answer your question, yes refugees are allowed in Australia so long as they have a visa. If they have no such document they will be held in detention indefinitely until they are granted a visa.
