The Australian asylum scheme has cost taxpayers around £5.2 billion since 2013
The Australian Government has sent 3,127 people people to these detention centres since 2013, according to the Refugee Council of Australia.
This has come at a cost to Australian taxpayer of AUS$9.5billion, which is over £5.2billion, and works out to £1.6million per detainee.
For the same price, the Australian government could have sent each detainee to London’s Eton College for 33 years.
Excellent value for money.
