Boom in Refugee Intake

New figures, just released, show quite clearly that Australia is in the midst of the largest monthly intake of refugees this financial year.

African refugees are among the new arrivals. And 10 African families have already arrived in Australia from the refugee camps in Tanzania, after fleeing persecution in Burundi and the Democratic republic of Congo.

They will be resettled in the state of South Australia.
