Dutton says people fleeing Gaza should not be granted a visa, as figures reveal most being refused

While Australia refuses Gazans entry on “terrorism” claims, since October 7, over 8,700 visas have been granted to Israelis, with about 200 applications refused.

On the other hand, since October 7, last year, 7,111 Palestinian visa applications  were refused by the federal government.
2,922 visas were granted to holders of a Palestinian Authority travel document in that same time, with all but about 350 being visitor visas.
The number who have arrived in Australia is closer to 1,300.
