Cambodia is a country that is already full of its own problems, it does not need to take on anymore from outside sources. But that is not stopping Australia from trying to settle a business deal with Cambodia to send their refugees to Cambodia. This is not a good idea because Cambodia still struggles with violence within their own country, making it an unsafe place to send people who are, shocker, looking for safety. However, Cambodia would be receiving a huge profit from this deal through development help from Australia. Australia is misrepresenting life in Cambodia and glorifying it to the potential refugees moving there. The poor people do not know or understand what they are getting into and are fast tracking their asylum status to make the move happen quicker. I still am not sure why Australia is so adamant about sending these people to Cambodia. It is interesting that so many things are happening in this country that may people do not even about because no one cares to educate themselves on what is happening here. After visiting here, it forever changed my life. I really had a chance to understand just how good of a life I actually have and how much people take for granted.
