Go Back to Where You Came From


1.     I believe that the show is really confronting and is really different from other shows. I think that the show is really interesting in that it provides different views and thoughts on refugees and asylum seekers.
2.    1.5% of immigrants are refugee
3.  In Australia, people make their way in life by working hard and being rewarded for it, and yet many refugees are coming to Australia illegally, and are getting paid by the government to do nothing. Australians believe this is very unfair, angering many citizens because they are having to pay to have them live here and live a good life.
4.    Australia ranks 18th when compared to 19 countries and their refugee intake
5.    I believe, to a certain extent, that we should bring in more refugees and should support them in there need. We have plenty of room and compared to the other countries, we take in very little compared to most refugee friendly nations.
6.    Refugees receive 0.8 of financial support compared to all Australians
7.    11 countries in Asia have signed the UN Refugee Convention
8.    It is important to note that Malaysia has not signed the UN Refugee Convention as it conveys to the world that Malaysia does not support Refugee’s. As shown in the show, this means that it is a lot harder for Malaysian’s to come to Australia.
