Boat arrivals in Australia since 1976

By the end of 2011, for the fifth consecutive year, the number of forcibly displaced people
worldwide still exceeded 42 million.11 The number of asylum applications in 2011 was also the
highest for almost a decade:
An estimated 441 300 asylum applications were registered in 2011 in the 44 countries included
in this report, some 73 300 claims or 20 per cent more than in 2010 (368 000).The 2011 level is
the highest since 2003 when 505 000 asylum applications were lodged in the industrialized
countries.12
It is clear from these figures that issues arising from the movement of displaced people are unlikely
to wane any time soon. The UNHCR Regional Representative for Australia, New Zealand and the
Pacific, Richard Towle, has pointed out in the past that further destabilisation of countries such as
Afghanistan, Iraq and Sri Lanka, would inevitably lead to more people seeking asylum in our region
regardless of national border protection policies or changes to migration legislation.13
More recently, Towle has argued that this continues to be the case:

When you spew total nonsensical garbage about Indians, over staying their visa's in Sri Lanka! and using that as a point to come to Australia, well we just don't buy it, because that is just pure bullshit. We Indian's come to Australia direct either on work or Student visa - bringing in thousands of dollars to the economy and settle in the correct and prompt way under the Australian Migration act.
you should be thanking the Indian's that Sri Lanka tourism industry is being boosted by loaded Indians coming there to enjoy a quick holiday and contributing to your economy not the other way around.
