• What is your initial reaction to the show?
  I felt that the show was a good idea and was realistic because Doctor Corlett was able to take the participants passports and phones so that their situation would be more like a refugees. I didn't like many of the reactions of the participants with exception of Glenny who likes refugees and even houses them for a little while. The show however did not allow for total realism as they still had more support than the original refugees
  

• What percentage of immigrants are refugees?
  1.5%
  
  
• Why does such a small number of people make for such a big deal both politically and in the media? (Give your opinion)
  People that argue through the media can spread the word through to all members of our country aswell as the government. They argue because the refugees would usually take an extremely risky trip to arrive into Australia. They think about how it isn't fair for refugees to be able to make their way into Australia and get a 'free ride' into education and a job which they haven't earned.
  

• Where does Australia rank among countries accepting refugees?

• To what extent do we have an obligation to help other people suffering in the world? (your opinion)
  The most we can do is allow a limited number of refugees into the country to stop their suffering but we can, by force or not also attempt to stop suffering and wars occurring so that we can stop their pain allow them to be safe.

• Why is it important to note that Malaysia has not signed the UN Refugee Convention? What does this mean for refugees in Malaysia?
  This means that refugees that have arrived in Malaysia will have to face extremely poor conditions and will not be treated well by anybody. This is important to note as there may be a investigation to the health of refugees in Malaysia because they have not signed the convention
