There are some subjects that everyone knows a lot about, but the \u201cknowledge\u201d they have is instead received opinion which bears only a passing resemblance to the truth. As a non-profit which deals with refugees we\u2019re right in the thick of just such a subject, because everybody has a lot of received opinions about asylum seekers. If we had ten dollars for every hot take we\u2019ve heard on the subject we\u2019d probably be better funded, but as it is we\u2019re still operating on a shoestring. So perhaps it\u2019s time to look at the subject from our perspective. We\u2019re not asylum seekers but we deal on a daily basis with the system on a global scale, and we know something about how it works from a first-hand perspective.<\/p>\n
