Not long ago, the Commonwealth Games were held in Brisbane. A total of 53 Commonwealth countries and 71 teams participated in the Games. Now that the sports meet has long ended, athletes from all over the world should have returned to China.
Surprisingly, about 250 athletes chose to stay here! They are determined to stay in Australia! Try to find a new way to get PR!
Immigration workers in Canberra said: all athletes` visas have now expired!
That means that the athletes who have not left have been detained illegally!
So the Minister of Civil Affairs came out and said that he was simply dumbfounded. "Australia welcomed them enthusiastically, and they did this illegal thing, and we are going to expel them!"
It`s not good to see what`s going on. There are about 200 of them immediately choosing a new strategy: apply for a protection visa!
Protection visas are not unsolicited, and applicants must meet the requirements of the refugee definition. A person is subject to persecution because of his race, beliefs, nationalities, parties, special social groups and political opinions, who are currently outside the country of nationality and are well-founded to fear returning to his or her own country. Therefore, they cannot or are unwilling to accept the protection of their country of origin, that is, refugees.
What`s the reason they`re looking for?
The war is one reason. For example, in Nigeria, although the political situation has remained stable in general, there are still many unstable factors: suicide bomb attacks occur from time to time, destruction of oil-producing areas in the south continues, kidnapping, robbery and other public security cases are more frequent. Some areas have anti-government armed activities, pirate attacks in the Gulf of Guinea.
It does seem to be justified.
So what happened to the Indian and Pakistani sports teams who were still stuck in Australia?
Sexual orientation.
Some people from these countries apply for protection on the grounds of sexual orientation. Because in these countries, sexual orientation is likely to be subject to persecution.
The problem also appears to be serious, apparently making Australia`s government "unable to refuse". Under international law, Australia must now seriously consider these visa applications, but how much will be granted depends on the review. So don`t rule out that they`re still going to be evicted.
And those who didn`t submit their applications? What about them?
They`re missing!
About 50 people are missing, with the largest number of missing athletes from Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ghana. They had lived in Brisbane athletes` Village, and suddenly they disappeared without a word.
Australia`s search team had to go out again, and it was really a waste of government resources for some reason. In addition, refugee visa processing can cost as much as $10000 per application. That means the bill could be millions!
Netizens began to attack the athletes almost on one side:
When they enter the country, they should pay a deposit of 20,000 and then wait until they leave before they can pay them back.
Please, Darden! Pack them up and send them back!
What a bummer! They came here under the banner of participating in the Federal Games to pretend to be refugees!
They`re not in danger!
They should be deported immediately!
Arrest them!
Originally Australians really welcome refugees, but now some people are getting angry. This you say you are a refugee asylum, there are definitely a lot of people in Australia will sympathize with you to help you. But how can you easily accept it when you come to Australia under the name of a national athlete and spend the money of the country and finally "renounce" your own country?
But now we`ll have to wait and see what government does.
