Because as long as there are people in need of help, people who can help should. Australia is one of many countries in the world and is involved in the business and at times military affairs of these countries. Take for example our involvement in Vietnam. When we finally lost that war, many, many people who were our friends suddenly found themselves in a dangerous country. You help your friends. Australia is a country that upholds a reasonably high standard of human rights and, as a result, often finds itself in a position to help people because of its own moral standard. The fact is that refugees who end up in Australia soon become Australians, or at least their kids do, and become a productive part of the fiber of Australian community. Nationalists who have thinly veiled racial/xenophobic problems with people from other cultures should spend a bit of time living the hard life that has confronted some of these people. And if a bad one slips through once in a while, remember the worst mass murderous terrorist style attack in Australia was committed by a European in Tasmania.

Are refugees allowed in Australia?
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.
