On the very day it was revealed that there are 12 million displaced persons in the world, these figures just out in Australia detail the situation in which asylum seekers to that country find themselves:
5,880 people were in detention by the end of June this year.
991 children were in detention on June 30 (including 513 in community detention).
316 days in detention is the average time it takes from arrival to receiving a visa.
240% increase in reported medical conditions including self-harm, hunger-strikes and suicide.
722 million dollars is how much the policy cost taxpayers in the last financial year.
A shocking indictment on the Government and people of the land Down Under.
