Potential Sri Lanka asylum seekers view Australia as an 'easy' country to get asylum in. The Australian reports that successful asylum seekers in Australia spread the word to their family members how the Australian system is 'soft' and allows people to get in without much effort. Because of this leniency, potential asylum seekers target Australia. This is definitely a call to make our asylum laws stricter, which would result in a decline in the asylum seekers attempting access to Australia.

There are many more countries closer to Sri Lanka than Australia. But surprise, surprise the asylum seekers come to Australia. Therefore, there must be some true in the above statement and Australia should review their laws.
Interesting article. With respect to the previous comment, irrespective of the governments policy, I am sure asylum seekers would always choose Australia as a destination, as it is an advanced country.
