Divergence,

That's a long-winded way of saying you haven't got any evidence relevant to your repeated claims.

A recent poll indicates that most think the refugee level is too high:

A MAJORITY of Australians think the country is taking too many refugees, according to an Essential Research poll.

The poll — which comes in the wake of the Government's announcement last week that it was liberalising mandatory detention policy — also found Australians still retain a hardline attitude towards asylum seekers.

Less than a quarter of respondents (24%) said past policy on asylum seekers had been too tough, while 62% said it had been right or not tough enough.

Those in higher income brackets were more likely to believe the policy had been too tough; those on lower incomes were more inclined to believe it was not tough enough.

Under the Rudd Government's changes to detention policy, unauthorised arrivals will be held for a limited period for identity, health and security checks, but beyond that people will only be detained if they present a risk to the community or have repeatedly absconded.

In the online poll of 1013, people were asked about the increase in Australia's refugee intake to 13,500 annually: 52% said this was too large; a quarter said it was about right; and 6% said it was too small.
