Australia faces criticism for tough immigration policy
Australia faces criticism for tough immigration policy 02:28





Within Australia, pressure was growing on the government to do more to contribute to the global response.
Australia's record on asylum seekers is a divisive issue within the country. Abbott came to power in 2013 with a mandate to "stop the boats" -- referring to boatloads of migrants who were trying to make their way to Australian waters to seek asylum.
Abbott has boasted of his success in curbing migrant numbers, but critics say he has just pushed the problem back to sea while hiding the true numbers of lives lost by refusing to comment on "operational matters."
Asylum seekers who make it to Australian waters are detained in offshore detention centers while their claims are processed, and are threatened with repatriation if their claims fail.
