The Department of Immigration in an internal report acknowledges complaints of “privileged” treatment of Ukrainians compared to Afghan war refugees. Aid for Ukrainians included free flights and $490.7 million in cash grants.
“There is a perception of unfairness regarding the treatment of the Ukrainian population compared to other global humanitarian situations,” said the report Rapid Evaluation Of The Ukraine Response. It acknowledged criticism that Ukrainian aid was “a privileged initiative for a mostly white population” compared to treatment of Afghan allies following the collapse of Kabul.
