This is why I think that 1 year of health insurance for these people is a very cheap deal for the Australian government to pay.Then after 1 year, the refugees will have nothing, just like most Cambodians.
So, you see, Australia is making a big saving on this.
(If you don't count the $50million or so that they paid to the Cambodian government.)
Don't worry, it's normal if you don't understand this; I don't understand this either. The whole affair defies logic. (It makes no sense.)

Poor Cambodians will die because of heart attacked.

Interesting view and one I can understand. In the UK when asylum seekers are seen to be getting things that the locals aren't from the government, it breeds a lot of discontent. Mainly against the asylum seekers more than the government.

Exactly. The Cambodian govt has done an outrageously good deal here. Not that you will see any of it; but those rich people in high places, who deserve to get even richer because they have good karma, can thank the Australian government for their extraordinary generosity.( And as everyone knows, giving creates karma, so Tony Abbott will probably be upgraded to a beetle in his next life.)
And I would also like to take in some asylum seekers if there are any spare Just for the karma of course.
