Mike Baird's view of success of resettlement of refugees


It was heartening to read our NSW Premier’s Australia Day address last week. Mike Baird speaking on the subject of resettlement of refugees said ‘ To shut our doors to refugees is not our history and not our character’. The Premier looked back to examples of how refugees, if given opportunities can be successful in many fields of endeavour and can contribute significantly to the future development of Australia .  Mike Baird pointed out that we have a choice ‘to continue on the path that brought our nation to where it is today or we can let fear blind us and hate infect us’. These are strong words and an exhortation to the present government to step up its resettlement programme.
