　　It's two and a half years since the conservative coalition government here launched its Operation Sovereign Borders, pledging to stop the boats. Today the immigration minister Peter Dutton declared it a success. But the tough policies have been widely criticized by human rights groups as well as the United Nations. Last year, in response to that criticism, Australia agreed to take in an additional 12,000 Syrian refugees through legitimate channels. Today Mr Dutton acknowledged only 29 Syrians have been successfully resettled here since that pledge was announced.
