Have you heard of the 6 Iranian boat people who came to Australia between 2009 and 2014 claiming refugee status because they “feared for their safety“ in their home country? They were granted ‘Refugee’ status and enjoyed all of the standard perks of public housing, social security, Newstart allowance, etc, etc.
Here’s the kicker. These 6 people who feared their home country have returned up to 3 times each on holidays to Iran, even getting married on one occasion.
The Minister, Peter Dutton did the right thing. He recognised they lied and canceled their Visa’s.
