Australia also prefers to spend about 2.5 billion dollars per year detaining refugees in off shore detention centers - a cost which equates to almost $180,000 per refugee per year. All of these costs are met by the Australian tax payer and end up as profits for private individuals and corporations (most of which are foreign owned).
There is no way known that Australia could think big and fund such a project. No way Jose. India can, but there is absolutely no way Australia can - no way!!!
