The document you have just used makes quite a few statements about refugees. It is always useful and necessary to test any source of information on its trustworthiness. Write a brief paragraph in which you answer this question: How do I know if this is the truth?

Use the questions below as your guide:
 * 1) What indications are there in this document that it is or isn't telling the truth? (Hint, look at the footnotes)
 * 2) Where is the information in this document coming from? (Hint, look at the footnotes)
 * 3) Are the sources in the footnotes trustworthy organisations?
 * 4) Do some research; what sort of an organisation is "GetUp.com.au"?
 * 5) Do you trust their views? Why would or wouldn't you? (Your personal opinion)
 * 6) Does this organisation have a bias (=tendency or preference towards a particular perspective) towards any political party? (Check the 'About Page')
