So why has the govt had an epiphany about the welfare of asylum seekers? Are the Syrian refugees gold plated or something?
I'd hate to be there when the people jailed on Nauru and Manus find out they are forgotten trash.

Syrian are the preferred refugees now because we're about to extend the freedom air campaign operation Dove and target practice upon Syria to free the Syrian and rebuild its democracy and bringing it freedom... So Syrians fleeing are genuine refugees fleeing the bad people we're about to bomb... They fit the narrative.
Do you think these refuges that may come to Australia will be Muslim, Christians or infidels?
I have been harping on this for years how that Muslims movement were infiltrating the Western World to develop world domination....I was even reprimanded by the moderators for using the world "INFILTRATION".
Germany will spend around $6.6 billion to cope with some 800,000 migrants and refugees expected to have crossed into the country by the end of 2015, the government said early Monday.
The announcement by Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government came after Germany and neighboring Austria threw open their borders to the wave of refugees making their way north and west from the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere. Hungary has been letting the human tide move on after holding it up for days.
"We had to give a strong signal of humanity to show that Europe's values are valid also in difficult times. Hungary's handling of the crisis is unbearable," said Germany's Secretary-General Yasmin Fahimi.
No , they are giving in to pressure by the looney Left and the media hype . The only thing Gold plated about these refugees is they seem to well off enough to pay their way through many Countries to seek the riches on offer in Germany.
Syrian refugees protested outside the Uruguayan presidency Monday to demand authorities help them leave for other countries, saying the nation that gave them sanctuary is too expensive and they have scant economic opportunity.
Uruguay welcomed the 42 refugees fleeing Syria's civil war in October 2014, but the five families now say officials promised more than they could deliver.
"There's no future for us here. The government's aid plan lasts two years, and one has passed by," Ibrahim Al Mohammed told The Associated Press.
Al Mohammed said he can't get by on just 11,000 pesos ($380) a month as a hospital worker, barely above Uruguay's 10,000-peso minimum wage.
"I have a wife and three young sons," he said. "What will I do to earn a living when the help runs out?"
The refugees lack passports from their home country, and cannot get Uruguayan ones because they are not citizens. The government has provided them with Uruguayan IDs and travel documents, but not all countries recognize them.
In August, one of the families tried to travel to Serbia but was held for 23 days at the Istanbul airport. Ultimately they returned to Uruguay.
Syrian Refugees Protest to Leave Uruguay, Say Too Costly
If we were to have a one-off increase our humanitarian intake over the current Syrian situation, it should be offset through reductions in the humanitarian intake over future years in order to manage the cost.
The current hyperbole of ever increasing numbers without consideration of the cost is disappointing, in particular from individuals within the Liberal party which presently are managing to outstrip Labor and the Greens.
Those Luis Vuitton bags get around.
No prizes for guessing where that was, or when.

I'm so glad God has a handle these matters:Just sit back and wait for the second coming to sort things out.
With regard to our humanitarian intake, what are you trying to justify with the above ?Hmm. You mean just like the rampant immigration we've had over the last 15 years or so. Like the net 400k+ of long term arrivals into the country back in 2009, or the lowly net 291K over the year to July.
I'm so glad we've somehow worked out how absorb the cost of this immigration policy that is part of the laberals way of doing things. Population ponzi = real GDP growth = we can lie about the true state of the economy. The truth starts to look a lot less palatable when we start to view things from a per capita perspective, the motorways that feel like parking lots, the public transport that feels like a sardine can, the announced highest ever infrastructure budget that is actually spending less on a per capita basis. For some reason I thought these were all costs.
I don't seem to recall when any of the laberals have come out and explained how we're going to pay for the kind of population growth that is still running at just under twice the long term average of ~160K long term arrivals on an annual basis.
Are you saying the ones that come by planes are cost free?
The Coalition party room has agreed to accept 12,000 refugees from persecuted minorities and provide an extra $44 million in financial aid to help deal with the Syrian refugee crisis.
It is not clear whether the full increase will happen this year, or over a number of years.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott had been promising a "generous" boost in the number of refugees.
Today he will also formalise the Federal Government's plan to allow RAAF jets to conduct air strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria.
The Federal Government has already flagged that the focus of its intake of Syrian refugees will be minorities that are largely Christian.
But soon after the party-room discussion this morning Cabinet minister Christopher Pyne was stressing the Government was not focused on singling out one religious group.
"Religion is not the issue here, the issue is persecuted ethnic and religious minorities," he said.
"We have a colour-blind policy in terms of humanitarian support."
Government backbencher Cory Bernardi has been advocating for a focus on helping Christians, arguing they are the least likely to be able to return to the areas they have fled from.
