Re: First refugees arrive today, but IOM hasn't been informe
Seen a few things in my time and crazy decisions but this tops the lot.
$42 million and counting......
In a way, kudos to the Khmer Gov, if Aus Gov is handing out $42 million or anywhere near that number at the first stage, it's fill your [moto] boots time.
All this Aus taxpayers money being spent for what ?
Yet to hear if the 'refugees' will be provided identification papers or a passport.
If a State fails to provide any individual with a passport or travelling documents, this constitutes State imprisonment.
Look forward to hearing Cambodia's' argument on Aus Gov behalf to refuse identity, travelling and/or passport documents.

In 2002 ?
The issue is - this Aus / Khr arrangement is not being conducted under UNHCR Charter, regulations or status.

Shameful day for Australia, the poor bastards that died during WW1 and 2...for their government to do this? Adolf would be proud.

$15,000 ? Health insurance for 12 months ? That's so big of them.They were transferred to a newly-built villa in a Phnom Penh suburb where they will live for months while receiving language and other training and benefits including $15,000, accommodation, income support and health insurance.
...
A Senate Estimates committee in Canberra has been told Operation Cambodia has so far cost an additional $15.5 million.
The benefits offered to the refugees will dry up in 12 months, leaving them to fend for themselves in a country where millions of people live in dire poverty and where education and health services are poor.

Be interesting to see what happens to them. How long will they be anonymous for do you think? What kind of reaction can they expect from the local population if their identities are known?
I suspect they will fit in easily unless someone makes a political fuss within Cambodian politics/ media. Has there been a lot of reporting in Khmer media? At least, until they start shipping too many over. Be a while before they are perceived as the new youn.
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.prahkeitouj wrote:Because they are afraid that the refugees will not happy to live in the Kingdom.

Re: First refugees arrive today, but IOM hasn't been informe
Little Salary, if the refugees were settled in Australia, they would probably have health care paid for the rest of their lives. 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.)

There is not as much reporting as in the English language media.juansweetpotato wrote:Has there been a lot of reporting in Khmer media?
And when it is reported there is almost always a disclaimer paragraph:
គួរបញ្ចាក់ដែរថា តាមកិច្ចព្រមព្រៀងរវាងកម្ពុជានិងអូស្រ្តាលី ការរស់នៅនិងតំាងទីលំនៅរបស់ជនភៀសខ្លួនពីប្រទេសអូស្ត្រាលីនេះ រដ្ឋាភិបាលអូស្រ្តាលីជាអ្នកចំណាយទំាងអស់ ហើយកម្ពុជាបានបា្រក់ចំណូលពីការតំាងទីលំនៅនេះដែរ ។
"It should be remembered that in accordance with the agreement between Cambodia and Australia all the expenses of life and accommodation of the refugees will be covered by Australia and Cambodia will also earn revenue from the agreement"
