To be fair, it's really fucking easy to find one person to say stupid shit like this so you can clickbait a lot of outrage out of people.
Off topic a bit but in the 80s Australia was easy to visit but hard to stay there as it was difficult to get a work permit. Those were back in the days when you weren't promised a lifestyle I suppose. So since that time in Oz they disarmed the public and flow the same people into the country. Why?
I'm just guessing what you're talking about because it is unclear, but it sounds like you are confusing being a visitor (ie, on a holiday) with being a migrant.
No migrant or refugee (once released) is going to be allowed into the country and refused a work permit, ever. They are an immediate welfare case.
A visitor has no ability to claim welfare payments. As far as I know they can get a work permit, fairly easy in this country but I think they can only get a year worth of time here before they have to leave.
