New statistics revealed by the Federal Opposition, show that more than 95,000 asylum seekers have arrived in Australia by plane over the past five years, triggering fears over exploitation and slavery.
Labor's home affairs spokeswoman, Kristina Keneally accused the Government of mismanaging the borders, and said that people smugglers have shifted their business model from boats to planes.
Sr Keneally said that 90% of recorded asylum seekers were not legitimate refugees and many of these people were being trafficked to Australia for the explicit purpose of being exploited.
