Go Back to Where You Came From Reflection
Take the time to think about the documentary you have just watched.
Take this Quiz: http://www.sbs.com.au/thefacttester?question=4
- What is your initial reaction to the show? My initial reaction to this show was that is was very disturbing to hear some of the statistics on refugees and how many of them flee their countries because of war and also how many of them live in the slums of Malaysia and Africa.
Take this Quiz: http://www.sbs.com.au/thefacttester?question=4
- 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) Because the small amount of people are not only foreign but have tried to come to another country illegally without any documentation or any form of papers such as a birth certificate or passport.
- Where does Australia rank among countries accepting refugees? We rank as No.15
- To what extent do we have an obligation to help other people suffering in the world? (your opinion) Well I believe we should set up refugee camps which are controlled by our Australian soldiers like the UN has done except has Australian soldiers there instead of Australian or UN officials.
- How much extra support do refugees receive in comparison to other Australian citizens? They receive the same amount of support.
- How many 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? It is important to note that Malaysia has one of the biggest amounts of refugees in their countries so that signing the UN Refugee Convention means that they will do nothing to help these people. This means for refugees in Malaysia it will be almost impossible to get out of Malaysia safely such as being processed but instead will be hunted down and will have to be in hiding.
