- Description
- Australia, over the past century, has promoted its humanitarian program in resettling refugees. Families from across the world were forced to escape as a result of war, political upheaval, and totalitarian regimes that have stripped away the rights of minorities to participate in the full experience of life. The public face of the Australian model has been undermined due to the complexities of implementation and the ineffective support provided. These cohorts of refugee and asylum seeker families were often resettled in areas that provided an economic advantage due to factors such as rental prices for both the government and the agencies charged with the administration of the program. This led to the establishment of closed communities, which have taken generations to establish a positive social and cultural identity in our broader society, as they were forced to create internal supports for themselves. These closed communities have attracted negative attention from the media, increasing racism from wider society and a widening gap of values. This was due to the rejection of cultural behaviors that newly settled groups observed in the immediate community of resettlement. Much of these differences are the result of socioeconomic complexities. This situation continues to the present day.
