Go Back to Where You Came From Reflection

 What is your initial reaction to the show?
My initial rection to 'go back to where you came from' was that it was a bunch of 'bogan' Australian's wanting to be on TV. However after watching the first episode, i found myself thoroughly enjoying it. Over the episode it showed how our stereotypes of people are not always true, and that we often misjudge and had a prejudice view towards refugee and don't actually know what they have been through. This show illustrated to us what the refugee journey was like.


What percentage of immigrants are refugees?
The percentage immigrants that are refugees is 1.5%.


Why does such a small number of people make for such a big deal both politically and in the media? 
This is that case because many people have such a big opinion on 'boat people' therefore it 'fills' the media and makes it sound like such a big deal when really its not.


Where does Australia rank among countries accepting refugees?
Australia ranks 18th.


To what extent do we have an obligation to help other people suffering in the world? 
Well because we are so lucky to live like we do, i believe that we can help people who are less fortunate than we are. 


How much extra support do refugees receive in comparison to other Australian citizens?
They have the same amount of support as Australian's do.


How many Asian nations have signed the UN Refugee Convention?
11


Why is it important to note that Malaysia has not signed the UN Refugee Convention? What does this mean for refugees in Malaysia?
As there is a large amount of refugees Malaysia, this means that the refugees in Malaysia are not protected therefore don't like being in Malaysia.
