Australia is a safe country, known for its political and religious freedom. Refugees from countries with oppressive governments are attracted to Australia because of this freedom, and also because Australia does offer many opportunities for people seeing to start a new life. Thanks to the previous government, Australia had a reputation for low unemployment and a sound, strong economy. The change of government meant that many restrictions formerly placed on refugees have been loosened (many Customs staff and those responsible for border security were laid off when Rudd came in to power) so refugees see Australia as an easy target. Furthermore, the places from which refugees come are absolutely deadly, stricken by wars, famine and starvation, or a tyrannical Dictatorship government. Australia has a reputation for being a peaceful country that adheres to the international rules that apply to refugees. If the choice is starvation, violent death, etc then they are prepared to take the risks involved.
