Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended the Australian government’s decision to allocate 3000 visas to Afghan refugees this financial year and rejected calls to take more.

Morrison said Australia’s commitment to allocate humanitarian places from the 13,750-person quota this year was in line with the country’s previous efforts.
