It could be said that refugees began coming to Australia in 1836. This is when German and Prussian settlers first arrived, fleeing religious persecution in their own countries. Many more groups of Prussians and Germans came in the ensuing years, with some of them supported by wealthy Scottish landowner George Fife Angus.

Why do refugees try to reach Australia?

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.
