Some people wonder why I am so angry at Australias shamefully low 1% acceptance of recognised refugees. Maybe this will give you a small idea: Various international organisations, including the United Nations, have reported thousands of refugees fall victim to people traffickers and organ harvesters in the Sinai. Ethiopias honorary consul to Australia, Graham Romans, cites a recent report to the European Commission finding up to 30-thousand people trafficked over five years and said most were from Eritrea. Most of those who are trafficked have died in captivity, even after ransoms have been paid, he said. Its estimated that some $US600 million has been paid out in ransoms, and the report suggests that many Eritreans do not survive the trafficking and torture.
