| According to the Department of Immigration approximately 25% of applications for refugee status are granted which would equal 22 000 over 17 years except for 1990 when Bob Hawke allowed the vast majority of the Chinese applicants at the time of the Tienamen Square massacre to stay. Therefore the total will be 2200 plus 16000 which equals approximately 38000. | |||
