Imagine you are listening in on a vox pop being conducted in a busy shopping mall by a local radio station. The question is this: “Is Australia one of the three most generous countries in the world in accepting refugees for permanent resettlement?” How many do you think will answer “yes”? Not many, if any.
The problem is ''yes'' is the right answer. We are always in the top three, on straight numbers, along with the United States and Canada. If you calculate it by per capita and GDP, we are sometimes number one.

Not many countries set aside a specific part of their immigration program for refugees. We do and yet are often lectured by those who take none.
Think we're tough on refugees? That's fake news
