Five Syrians have become the first
of 12,000 refugees to arrive in Australia under a one-off plan to
resettle people fleeing the country's conflict.
The couple with
three children arrived in Perth on Monday night Nov 16,2015 after their resettlement
was fast-tracked due to a medical condition.Australia agreed in September to take in an extra 12,000 refugees amid public pressure over Europe's migrant crisis.
The first Syrian refugees had not expected to arrive until December.
Federal Minister for Social Services Christian Porter said the family had "been through a great deal".
