Hey guys, first time posting in quite awhile, but anyways lets get to it. In Australia there was a SHIPWRECK! Actually it was just a large wooden boat looking like this…well except bigger waves and loaded with people.
But still there were about 27 deaths,of which were of Iranian, Iraqi and Kurdish asylum seekers, which are refugees which are people who are afraid of being persecuted because of either their race,religion,nationality or being a member of a type of group. But back to topic. The incident occurred on Christmas Island by crashing into sharp cliffs 10 days before Christmas, there were dozens of Australians who watched the tragedy from the shore unable to help the many people of which were men women and even children.The Australians who tried to help would throw life vest’s to the people but the waves and wind would blow them right back to shore.
The survivors of the crash are getting held in an offshore detention centers since they cant just not let them into the country since they were shipwrecked.(more information on why they were sent to detention centers here) I think that the Australian government should not be putting the people in detention centers since Indonesia apparently does not mind that the refugees are going to Australia,neither do the other countries since they all say its Australia’s problem not theirs which I think Indonesia should take their refugees back and keep them in their country, since Australia shouldn’t have to deal with the refugee’s. So that’s it for now since not to much news about it has been released.
