That is an interesting question.

Most come via Indonesia, who do NOT have a welfare system. Hence they keep going... until they get to a country that does.

You can't blame them for trying. It is human nature to want the best one can get.

and we are the ones that have to pay for it. l wonder how many new hospitals or cancer treatment centers could have been built with the money these free loaders have cost us. One guy had $100,000 he spent on people smugglers but we still have to pay all his accomodation costs,his probably got another $100 grand hidden somewhere, his probably down at the local centelink by now

The largest groups of unlawful non-citizens in Australia come from the United Kingdom and the USA.
how did you gather this information

We believe there are 46,000 visa overstayers.’ In the Senate I think that comment was put as, ‘The government’s current estimate is that there are around 46,000 visa overstayers in Australia.’
We have a genuine public policy concern here. When people ask me how big the problem is I say that I do not know and the government does not know. The government does not even know—I am back to where I started in this debate—how many people are here as visa overstayers. It reckons it is 46,000, and it reckons 26,000 of them have now been in Australia unlawfully for more than five years. There may be various reasons why it has not found them and deported them—I imagine there are 46,000 reasons why it has not done that—but we have a situation where the status quo is unacceptable.
This has now become 46,000 'unlawful non-citizens' in Australia. But this parliamentary speech was made in 2006. Four years ago.

Whether these all claim regular Centrelink benefits is another matter.
