It is legal to seek asylum in Australia, even if you arrive on a boat without a visa. People smugglers charge up to $20,000 for asylum seekers to take a journey to countries like Australia to apply for refugee status. If you were an asylum seeker, what would you do?
Personally if I had the chance, I would get on a boat and come to Australia, risks and all. After watching "Go Back To Where You Came From" I have realised that after every risk you have taken, why not take another risk to freedom. Why wouldn't you?This has made me actually think about these people, how they have gone through so much. Take every possible chnace you have to make your life and this world a better place.
Good response Dani. The series certainly makes us appreciate the fortunate life that we have here in Australia and we are in a good place to be able to help others. I'm glad that the series has been thought provoking for you, well done, Ms Lidgerwood
