Australian government urged to expand refugee intake as Afghans seek to flee Taliban rule
Scott Morrison says the 3,000 humanitarian intake places now allotted is ‘a floor not a ceiling’ and the overall program could expand to ‘achieve more’
Australia may expand its humanitarian migration intake to accept more Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban, after criticism it was doing too little to help vulnerable populations and had moved too slowly to rescue Afghans who had served Australian military and diplomatic missions.
So far, Australia has reserved 3,000 places within its existing humanitarian intake of 13,750 places for Afghan nationals fleeing conflict in that country.
