The magnitude and complexity of the issues arising from the flow of asylum seekers and refugees
globally poses huge challenges for the world’s destination countries, including Australia. These
countries universally struggle to maintain a balance between controlling national borders and
offering protection to millions of displaced people.
When the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in
1951, there were approximately 1.5 million refugees internationally.1 At the end of 2009 there were
an estimated 43.3 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, including 15.2 million refugees,
983 000 asylum seekers and 27.1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). It is estimated that
there were an additional 25 million people displaced due to natural disasters.2
The Australian Government has recognised the magnitude of these global trends noting that the
numbers of people seeking asylum in Australia are small compared to those seeking asylum in
Europe and other parts of the world.3
  
Australia has a long history of accepting refugees for resettlement and over 700 000 refugees and
displaced persons, including thousands during and immediately after World War II, have settled in
Australia since 1945.4 However, despite this long‐term commitment, there is a great deal of
confusion and misinformation in the public debate in Australia particularly around the terms asylum
