Peter Dutton declares 'game is up' for 'fake refugees' living in Australia
By political reporter Jane Norman


Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has given 7,500 asylum seekers living in Australia until October to lodge an application for protection, or face deportation, declaring the "game is up" for "fake refugees".
Key points:

Asylum seekers given until October 1 to lodge an application for processing
Otherwise they will be cut off from Government payments, subject to removal from Australia
7,500 asylum seekers costing taxpayers about $250 million each year, Mr Dutton says

Mr Dutton said the asylum seekers had all arrived by boat under the previous Labor government, most without identity documents, and had so far either failed or refused to present their case for asylum with the Immigration Department.

"If people think they can rip the Australian taxpayer off, if people think that they can con the Australian taxpayer, then I'm sorry, the game's up," he said.

"They need to provide the information, they need to answer the questions and then they can be determined to be a refugee or not."

The asylum seekers have now been given until October 1 to lodge an application for processing or they will be cut off from Government payments, subject to removal from Australia, and banned from re-entering the country.

According to Mr Dutton, the group is costing taxpayers about $250 million each year in income support alone and the deadline would ensure the Government is "not providing financial support to people who have no right to be in Australia".

Labor's immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann said asylum seekers cannot remain in Australia indefinitely, and should be applying for protection as soon as possible.

But Mr Neumann criticised Mr Dutton's use of the term "fake refugees" and said it was no wonder the Administrative Appeals Tribunal was overturning 40 per cent of the Minister's decisions on visas.

South Australian Senator Nick Xenophon said the new policy would have public support and appeal to the Coalition's support base, but urged the Government to take a "calm, methodical and fair" approach.

"I only hope that the Government puts as much effort into dealing with job seekers as it does with asylum seekers," Senator Xenophon said on Insiders.
'Cruel and unfair'
Fact file: Australia's refugee intake

How does Australia's refugee intake stack up against other nations? ABC Fact Check investigates.

But refugee advocates slammed the "arbitrary" deadline as "cruel and unfair".

GetUp's human rights director Shen Narayanasamy said while many of the asylum seekers had been in Australia for years, they were only given the go ahead to lodge an application for protection last November.

"Asylum claims are incredibly long, torturous documents," she said.

"And what Peter Dutton has failed to tell you is that he has denied them interpreters and access to legal assistance."

Of the 50,000 asylum seekers who arrived by boat between 2008 and 2013, 43,000 have now been processed — which means they have either been granted a visa or had their claims rejected — or are currently having their claims assessed.

However, there are 7,500 asylum seekers "outside the process" and that is the group now subject to the October 1 deadline.
Asylum seeker statistics

50,000 Illegal Maritime Arrivals arrived in Australia between 2008 and 2013
Labor processed 20,000 of these people
It stopped processing IMAs in August 2012 leaving 30,500 people yet to be processed — this is known as the Legacy Caseload
23,000 of the Legacy Caseload have applied for Temporary Protection Visas or Save Haven Visas
Of those 6,500 have been granted a TPV or SHEV
3,000 have already been found not to be refugees and must leave Australia
13,000 are having their claims assessed
Around 7,500 remain outside the process and have not presented their case for protection

Any normal person would agree with Dutton on this.

7,500 asylum seekers costing taxpayers about $250 million each year, Mr Dutton says

Yet Aussie pensioners are being hauled over the coals. Why are they being paid income support when they have been here for 5 years and have not submitted a claim? If they don't submit claims they should be deported.

Mr Dutton said the group of asylum seekers yet to lodge their claim cost taxpayers $250 million in income support last financial year, while the total welfare bill for "illegal" boat arrivals was $1.9 billion.

So much for homeless children, job seekers and pensioners. In Baird's last state budget he allotted an additional $146 million towards just Sydney's share of the 12,000 Syrian refugees that were supposed to be distributed Australia wide and only $40 million to homeless children.
