Largely because Australia is very isolated from the rest of the world. However the same argument rages in every country that takes in refugees. It seems that politicians being the unprincipled scoundrels they are will always try to vilify people in order to win a few votes.

Because Australia doesn't want thousands of refugees relying on their government subsistence program in order to live - when they've paid nothing into the system. Shame we in the UK can't (or rather won't) do the same !

Why are so many australians overseas born?

Australian governments have generally supported immigration as a contribution to economic growth. Although immigration policy was discriminatory until the 1960s (under a policy of "White Australia"), there is now widespread community support for accepting racial and cultural diversity in Australia's intake of migrants. Australia also accepts refugees under terms of the relevant UN Conventions, although community concerns about refugees are sometimes exploited politically.
