Best Answer

Refugees are people who leave their home country because of circumstances such as religious persecution, political oppression or war. The first people to come under this heading were the German-Prussian Lutherans who came to the new South Australian colony in 1839, fleeing from religious persecution suffered under King Friedrich Wilhelm III. Other groups of Lutherans soon followed.

In modern times, Australia has been accepting refugees as a part of the UNHCR humanitarian resettlement program since 1977.
