reflection

Take the time to think about the documentary you have just watched.

  • What is your initial reaction to the show?
  • My initial reaction to the show was that this wasnt just an entertainment show, this was quite a significant reality check, and that it was not going to be an easy breeze of a show. These people were to be put in the real, brutal conditions of various different refugees conditions. That this show was going to be a considerable insight of the refugee life. 


Take this Quiz: http://www.sbs.com.au/thefacttester?question=4


  • What percentage of immigrants are refugees? 
  • 1.5 % of immigrants are refugees
  • Why does such a small number of people make for such a big deal both politically and in the media? (Give your opinion)
  • As the countries against this are treating them so unfairly and over exaggerating by being this cruel to them when they are just people, looking for a new life causing no harm to our country what so ever. 

  • Where does Australia rank among countries accepting refugees? 
  • 11th position 
  • To what extent do we have an obligation to help other people suffering in the world? (your opinion)
  • We have so much room and empty space for the settlements of these refugees to live and I dont see why there is any reason at all that we are not helping this suffering families. 


  • How much extra support do refugees receive in comparison to other Australian citizens?
  • None, the support levels are kept the same as they are joined to the UN Refugee Convention
  • How many Asian nations have signed the UN Refugee Convention?
  • only 11 Asian nations have signed to 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?
