3. Asylum seekers are people who are seeking international protection but whose claim for refugee status has not yet been determined. Their refugee status application is processed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or a government that is a signatory to the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention.
4. Globally, Australia is ranked 47th for hosting refugees according to the UNHCR. Australia’s Refugee and Humanitarian Program resettle 20,000 refugees each year. This increase came as part of the Houston Expert Panel recommendations in 2012, upping the number from 13,750.

7. Asylum seekers are sent to a detention Centre all around Australia to be processed or they are sent back home to their country.
8. Asylum seekers do not break any Australian laws simply by arriving on boats or without authorization. Australian and international law make these allowances because it is not always safe or practicable for asylum seekers to obtain travel documents or travel through authorized channels. Refugees are, by definition, persons fleeing persecution and in most cases are being persecuted by their own government.
