Go Back to Where You Came From

• What is your initial reaction to the show? My initial reaction to the show is that it is a good way to see the really stories behind the refugees and rather than the bias stories in the news saying that they are bad, it shows the struggle of them and what they go through.
• What percentage of immigrants are refugees? 1.5%
• Why does such a small number of people make for such a big deal both politically and in the media? (Give your opinion)  I believe that it is made such a big deal of because the people who make a big deal of it can as opposed to the people going through it which view is never heard.

• Where does Australia rank among countries accepting refugees? We are number 18th in the world
• To what extent do we have an obligation to help other people suffering in the world? (your opinion) I believe that Australia does have the right to help others in the world especially in developing countries because Australia is a thriving country.

• How much extra support do refugees receive in comparison to other Australian citizens? They receive equal once they are settled in Australia (i.e. medicare) and also Australia tries to help legitimate refugees. 0.8% as much as the Australian citizens.
• How many Asian nations have signed the UN Refugee Convention? 11 Asian Nations have signed the UN refugee convention.
• Why is it important to note that Malaysia has not signed the UN Refugee Convention? What does this mean for refugees in Malaysia? Malaysia does not recognise the rights of refugees as defined in the convention, nor does it have the same responsibilities as signatory countries by not being part of the UN refugee Convention. This means that it would be harder for refugees in Malaysia to settle in other countries.
