Essay: The Australian refugee crisis

Boats, boats and more boats. Journeying all the way from Europe just to be turned back or directed to designated island camps where these so called asylum seekers are kept clear of our home land. And yes, Australia is a multi cultural country, but do we really want a war riven culture influencing our cities and people.
Is it already too late?
The Australian refugee crisis is an avoided social issue, thus the visual represents. Hoards of people hoist the unsinkable “refugee council” above their heads in a point to make something of this issue. However the all new Pm, Scott Morrison makes his point of facing his back towards the splintered wood. despite the uneven odds of power between the people and the government, our new prime minister may just be rolling his tires in the right direction.
Our government has had a few “shots” at the refugee crisis, with around 12000-13000 accepted every year, for the last twenty years. This amount of new asylum seekers has already changed Australia, by introducing many new culture, all represented by different coloured clothes in the visual text.
And how come the bodies seeking asylum have a say in where forth the Australian refugee council sits in terms of their opinions on the refugee crisis. Asylum seekers flea from their countries for acceptable reasons such as war and terrorism, but they bring part of that culture with them, expecting us to take pity on them. Which so far, the Australians have had profound empathy for shelter seeking middle eastern people, but when is enough enough.
We have already seen prolific gang warfare in popular settling areas for refugees such as Sydney, where Islamic and other middle eastern gangs live in pockets of areas which they “own” and combat against each other in turf ware fare. The emergence of these groups coincide with more appearing gangs, whom are know to authorities for acts of vandalism and violence, and promote Islamic extremism through YouTube videos of burning flags and representing an anti- Australian notion.
And we’ve had the heart to process them towards Australian citizenship. The 2016-2017 budget estimation allocated to support offshore processing was $61.5 million, on top of the already provided $342.1 million for the same purpose. That’s a lot of our moolah, and a lot of our taxes, already spent on processing asylum seekers. And that’s not even all of it. As it turns out, a gnarly $1.1 billion was spent during 2016-17, on these people who could be the next to end up taking over our streets.
It only makes sense, that when in Rome, not doing as the romans do, there is going to be controversy.

It’s a problem we didn’t ask for, a problem that had little to do with Australia. This on going issue can really only be resolved if the war and terror end over in the Middle East ceases. But with an Australian refugee council on the governments back, the issue is only going to be avoided because of the enduring controversy within Australia itself.
“…when in a Rome, not doing as the Romans do, there is going to be controversy.”
So pretty much, Scott Morrison’s position in leadership, which came out of nowhere, gave him not time or choice to think about and consider what actions to propose for the refugees in processing areas on Nauru and papa New Guinea.
So that leaves us with issue upon issue relating to what we do with the asylum seekers, and their living conditions in these processing sites. Their arrivals have brewed up ongoing concerns about their safety and security as well as the sustainability of their involuntary settlement in these offshore centres. This is on top of more personal issues concerning their well being such as the punitive living conditions in which they are held, being reported to stress psychological harm and independent oversights.
This begs the question, what should we do? Or maybe, what should they have done? These specimens may have well stayed where they were, if it meant they would suffer just as greatly in Australia’s off shore processing centres.
