Tell Your Story Walking Pal

You know, I get really sick and tired of stories like this. Hey, guess what Jakarta - if you don't want Australia to keep sending the so-called refugees back to you, stop letting them use your country as a base from which they attempt to illegally enter our country.

The United Nations definition of a refugee is
A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave his/her homeland and is unable to return because she or he has experienced persecution or has a well- founded fear of persecution. Persecution can be related to race, nationality, religion, political opinions, or membership in a particular social group
I'm sorry, but do people who can calmly hop on a passenger jet to travel from Turkey to Indonesia really qualify under this definition? Perhaps not.
