Australians Offer to Fund Evacuation of Vietnamese Refugees
A Sydney university lecturer and a group of Australians proposed covering air fares and accommodation in Australia for up to 4,000 Vietnamese refugees if the government would permit their entry. Br R K James of the University of NSW said more than 4,000 relatives of Vietnamese already want to come as immigrants and urged urgent action. He and others met Acting Foreign Affairs Minister Morison and sought assurances from Labor officials and the Australian Embassy in Saigon, as delays and misprocessing left many refugees stranded and distressed.

Australian Acting Foreign Affairs Minister Morrison blamed Saigon and the Vietnamese government for slow refugee departures. He cited that only about ten percent of applications from Vietnamese seeking entry had been approved, with many applicants unable to leave Vietnam due to Vietnamese refusal and Australian embassy processing limits.
