Learning to Love Ratios - border security edition
240,000,000:21,000,000
1:120
9:10
(all approximates)
Clues: Indonesia, boat arrivals, successful asylum seekers, overall migration, Australia.
This is a tough one! 240,000 : 21,000: Indonesia's population compared to ours. 1:120 - This is a bit of a stab but I'd say it was approximately Australia's humanitarian intake compared with overall migration (according to Bernard Keane's article in Crikey here - I think? http://bit.ly/x5Ssv The 9-10 I'm not sure of but I think it could be the ratio of successful asylum seekers.
