$70,000 per person per year.
You are forgetting it was so slack under Labor and that is why a visa was so easy to get under Labor....Very poor checks made......All Labor wanted to do was get them out of detention centers because they had run out of room.
From that article's figures, $149M were spent directly on 22,500 refugees. The other $351M or so indirectly to other organisations, with mandate to help the refugees.
So direclty, they're getting around $6,600 each. Indirect help would be $510M/22500 = $22,700 each.
Don't know where the other $1Billion goes, but not towards them noco.
So you can argue why should we pay or spend anything on them anyway. Fair enough.
But think about it. It costs us around $25,000 per hour, that's per hour, to fly one of our fighter jets over Iraq. If we see some unfriendly looking Arabs, one or two missile gets drop and that could cost $1 million on top.
Should we save a life, and perhaps one day that life would repay us in living and contributing their live to the nation and humanity - and does it for $6,600 a year.... Or wisely spend $25,000 an hour jetting around looking for some target to hit.
Don't exactly need Solomon's wisdom for this one.
From what I gather from your info, you are mainly looking at the welfare side......Look outside the square at the cost of the naval expenses incurred....Look at the cost of running detention centers..This is where the cost of $70,000 per person per year comes into play.....One of the illegals get sick on Manus so they fly them to Brisbane for treatment at what cost?.....Something you are trying to avoid.
So are you saying let ISIL run riot in Iraq and other middle east countries with the murdering of innocent men women and children?...Let ISIL have s free reign?
Where are your priorities?
Detaining a single asylum seeker on Manus or Nauru costs $400,000 per year. Detention in Australia costs $239,000 per year(Souce: National Commission of Audit).
It's cheaper onshore. But numbers are way down on arrivals compared to the labor fiasco. Are people here saying what happened under Rudd was sustainable, or even sensible?
For every refugee paying $5000-$20000 to get on a boat and after traveling through multiple safe countries, there is a refugee stuck in a camp following the process and getting shafted.
We take in refugees. We always have. Flooding in refugees unchecked is not a good idea. Labor were floundering for a solution. You only need to look to Europe.
Where did I say let ISIL run riot?
I'm not trying to avoid anything. I simply did the sums based on the figures in that article.
The article claims $1.5B was spent on refugees per year. It then list only $510M, and of that, only $149M goes directly to the asylum seeker themselves - the rest towards charitable organisations.
But say it's all for them. Where's the other $1B?
You're not going to tell me the costs of patrolling our waters; or the bills for border control officers at airports, are for asylum seekers too right?
Of course, they did, they did try , far too many suceeded but most were pushed back, what changed was Merkel's open door policy.Nothing to do with Irak or Syrian war.But for some reason, those people didn't flee and invade Europe all the decades.
You just don't get it do you?
That $70,000 per illegal immigrant per year is an all up cost to the tax payers of Australia..The welfare, the cost of running the detention centers and the naval expenses etc etc.......This is what you are avoiding and do not want to know about .
You broached on the point of air strikes in Iraq at some roving Arab.....Those airstrikes were targeted at ISIL.
Once again you have tried to evade the real reason of those strikes which were implemented to curtail the operations of ISIL or ISIS who are murdering innocent men , women and children by the thousands.
Of course, they did, they did try , far too many suceeded but most were pushed back, what changed was Merkel's open door policy.Nothing to do with Irak or Syrian war.
Will you have the same speech for the European white refugees in 20y fleeing sharia rape and collapsed society, or will you still blame the fact that their grandparents /parents were ugly colonialist and so they deserve it?
Funny how Swede being raped and killed by these "guests" have never even had colonies or entered in any war, but still have to pay the price for their naive faith.
Once you put in place the civilisation war Christian vs muslim, it is so simple, but too simple isn't it?
Would you take that same trip through those multiples of safe countries if at the end of it you get a million buck?
People do not just pick up and leave because the grass is greener on the other side of the oceans.
Most people would, especially if they are in a sh#thole country!
Of course they do, it is naive to think otherwise.
But say it's all for them. Where's the other $1B?
People don't just pack up, sold off the farm, get on a boat where they could literally die, just so they can earn a bit more.

The pioneers of this country did just that
to the public service to administer the production of ink on paper.
Expensive paper and ink. I would have thought it's somebody being ripped off with some other being blamed.
If my history is somewhere close, the first few fleets were forced against their will - being convicts and what not. Then the Potato Famine forcing a few more; then there's the usual terrorists and enemy of the state redheads and other of pioneering spirits being told there's gold and cheap plentiful land for the picking if only they'd leave the old world - one that have nothing for them anyway.
No?
So yes, true. Pioneers.
to the public service to administer the production of ink on paper.
Yes, it seems it is too hard to trace big business' laundering money, imagine how impossible it would be to unearth the govt's duplicity. should it be treacherous/covert with the public purse.
I'm guessing there are programs that are sheltered for the public good and money has to be spent, but under the veil of publically declared activities.
