How Generous Is Australia's Refugee Program Compared to Other AN ANALYSIS OF UNHCR’S 2018 GLOBAL REFUGEE STATISTICS HOW GENEROUS IS AUSTRALIA’S REFUGEE PROGRAM COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES? Australian political leaders regularly claim that Australia has one of the most generous refugee responses in the world. But what do UNHCR’s official statistics for 2018 tell us? In its 2018 Global Trends report, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) reported that the world’s refugee population had reached 25.9 million by the end of December 2018 and that another 3.5 million were seeking asylum. Of these, 5.5 million refugees are Palestinians recognised under the mandate of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and 20.4 million are refugees under UNHCR’s mandate. Source countries for refugees The largest numbers of refugees are from Syria (6.65 million), Afghanistan (2.68 million), South Sudan (2.29 million), Myanmar (1.15 million) and Somalia (950,000). In 2018, the largest increases in refugee populations were from Syria (343,850), Democratic Republic of Congo (99,500), Afghanistan (57,230), Central African Republic (45,350) and Nigeria (37,850). The number of people seeking asylum globally grew by 412,400, with much of this increase resulting from the crisis in Venezuela. In just 12 months, the number of Venezuelans seeking asylum grew by 316,250 to 464,230. OfficiAl refugee populAtion The five countries hosting the largest number of refugees as at 31 December 2018, according to UNHCR, were Turkey (3.68 million), Pakistan (1.40 million), Uganda (1.17 million), Sudan (1.08 million) and Germany (1.07 million). By comparison, Australia’s official refugee population was 56,933 – 45th overall, 50th per capita and 88th relative to national Gross Domestic Product (GDP). These refugee population figures tell only part of the story. They exclude refugees who have been resettled but, in Australia’s case, they include those who have been given permanent protection onshore over the past 10 years and refugees on temporary protection visas. As UNHCR statistics focus on identifying people for whom the agency has a particular responsibility under its mandate, these refugee population figures favour nations in which large numbers of refugees remain in unresolved and protracted situations and give less weight to the contribution of nations offering permanent protection and resettlement. Refugee resettlement Many of the outlandish political claims within Australia focus solely on refugee resettlement, despite the fact that so few refugees get access to resettlement. In 2018, just 92,424 refugees were resettled from one country to another, less than 0.4% of the total refugee population. Australia’s resettlement of 12,706 refugees during the 2018 calendar year saw the country ranked third overall for Sydney office: Melbourne office: Suite 4A6, 410 Elizabeth Street Suite 601, 580 Collins Street Surry Hills NSW 2010 Australia Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia Phone: +61 (02) 9211 9333 ● Fax: (02) 9211 9288 Phone: +61 (03) 9600 3302 [email protected] [email protected] Web: www.refugeecouncil.org.au ●Twitter: @OzRefugeeCounc Incorporated in ACT ● ABN 87 956 673 083 resettlement (behind Canada and USA) – second per capita and relative to national GDP (behind Canada). Recognition of refugees through asylum processes During 2018, 1.56 million people who sought asylum were recognised as refugees, through group recognition of refugees arriving in larger numbers, individual assessment of asylum claims or through granting temporary protection. The nations in which the largest numbers of refugees were newly recognised in 2018 were Turkey (402,550), Sudan (190,290), Uganda (180,660), Germany (105,540) and Cameroon (55,320). Australia recognised 10,300 refugees in 2018, most of them given temporary protection visas. In global terms, Australia was ranked 29th for recognition of refugees in 2018 – 30th per capita and 60th relative to GDP. AustrAliA’s contribution through Asylum And resettlement processes The most accurate reflection of Australia’s contribution can be found by combining the numbers of given protection for the first time through an asylum or recognition process or given further protection through resettlement. In 2018, 1.65 million people had their refugee status recognised or were resettled. By this measure, Australia recognised or resettled 23,002 refugees in 2018 (1.39% of the global total), being ranked 14th overall, 20th per capita and 60th relative to national GDP. As numbers vary considerably across different countries from year to year, it is more useful to look at these statistics over a 10-year period. Between January 2009 and December 2018, Australia recognised or resettled 180,790 refugees. This represented 0.89% of the 20.3 million refugees recognised globally over that period. Australia’s total contribution for the decade is ranked 25th overall, 29th per capita and 54th relative to national GDP.

  • Australia's Political System
    Australia’s Political System Australia's Political System Australia's system of government is based on the liberal democratic tradition, which includes religious tolerance and freedom of speech and association. It's institutions and practices reflect British and North American models but are uniquely Australian. The Commonwealth of Australia was created on January 1, 1901 - Federation Day - when six former British colonies - now the six States of Australia - agreed to form a union. The Australian Constitution, which took effect on January 1, 1901, lays down the framework for the Australian system of government. The Constitution The Australian Constitution sets out the rules and responsibilities of government and outlines the powers of its three branches - legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative branch of government contains the parliament - the body with the legislative power to make laws. The executive branch of government administers the laws made by the legislative branch, and the judicial branch of government allows for the establishment of the country's courts of law and the appointment and removal of it judges. The purpose of the courts is to interpret all laws, including the Constitution, making the rule of law supreme. The Constitution can only be changed by referendum. Australia's Constitutional Monarchy Australia is known as a constitutional monarchy. This means it is a country that has a queen or king as its head of state whose powers are limited by a Constitution. Australia's head of state is Queen Elizabeth II. Although she is also Queen of the United Kingdom, the two positions now are quite separate, both in law and constitutional practice.

Colonialism and Economic Development in Africa Leander Heldring and James A. Robinson NBER Working Paper No. 18566 November 2012 JEL No. N37,N47,O55 ABSTRACT In this paper we evaluate the impact of colonialism on development in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the world context, colonialism had very heterogeneous effects, operating through many mechanisms, sometimes encouraging development sometimes retarding it. In the African case, however, this heterogeneity is muted, making an assessment of the average effect more interesting.

Where it appears that any provision of the Order in Council is spent or is not likely to be the subject of more than an occasional reference in the future, the provision in question has been printed in italics. This has been done merely for convenience. These provisions have not been repealed, and remain part of the Order. It has not been possible to include in this booklet Schedules 1 to 6 of the Constitution. For these Schedules, which contain the Constitution of Buganda, the special provisions for the other Federal States and the procedure for the election of members of the National Assembly from Buganda by the Lukiiko, it will still be necessary to refer to the 1962 edition of the Constitutional Instruments.

  • CASE STUDY: QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA by Judith Sebba, University of Sussex Graham Maxwell, Queensland Studies Authority NOT for CI
    WHAT WORKS IN INNOVATION IN EDUCATION CASE STUDY: QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA By Judith Sebba, University of Sussex Graham Maxwell, Queensland Studies Authority NOT FOR CITATION BACKGROUND: THE CONTEXT IN THE STATE OF QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA Australia is a federation of six states and two territories (also referred to as the Commonwealth of Australia). Under the Australian Constitution, education is a state/territory responsibility and this autonomy is strongly defended on the basis of the need for responsiveness to geographical size and population dispersion, different histories and contexts, and regional needs and circumstances. Most public expenditure on education is sourced from direct or indirect taxation collected at country level and distributed through the states. Schools are government (public/state) or non-government with the latter made up of Catholic and Independent sectors. Approximately one-third of all school students are enrolled in non-government schools. Non-government schools are supported through state and federal government funding. Government school funding is mainly a state/territory matter though some funds also flow from the federal government. Most non-government schools also charge fees. Indigenous students comprise 3.4 per cent of all Australian school students. The percentage of Indigenous students enrolled in Queensland (5.3 per cent) is higher than the national average because of higher concentrations of Indigenous peoples in the north, especially Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands. Most Indigenous students in Queensland, (88 per cent) are enrolled in government schools. Currently, there is compulsory schooling in Queensland for 6-15 year olds (school years 1-10) with the two years of post-compulsory schooling for 16-17 year olds (school years 11-12).
