FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “Basic provisions” worth thousands of dollars, including DVDs and plasma TVs, are being included in welcome packs provided to asylum seekers being housed in rent-free homes while their claims are processed.
The instant home package includes around 60 items, including beds, baby items for families with small children, fridges and food storage containers, as well as a minimum size 53cm television.
Food hampers are also provided as families are moved out of detention into rent-free accommodation in the community, News Ltd newspapers said.
The federal opposition revealed Senate estimates this week showed families of more than nine could receive up to $9850 in furnishings, while an average family of five was eligible for $7100 worth of goods, News Ltd said.
Among other items provided under special consideration were baby items, computers, internet access and mobile phones, children’s toys, including games consoles and sewing machines.
Asylum seekers also were provided with free medical and pharmaceutical costs, education and fortnightly payments of up to $433.25 to help those unable to work.
Almost 1600 asylum seekers are housed in community detention across the country.
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison said people struggling with cost of living rises would be disappointed, but Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said the government was acting responsibly while asylum seeker claims were being assessed.
A government spokesman said families would not keep the goods, which would remain in a house for the next people who moved in.
The Red Cross has been contracted to provide the packages for more than five years and spokesman Michael Raper described the packages as basic, rather than luxury, supplies.
