Canada A+ Australia D: Rahaf al-Qunun: Saudi teen granted asylum in Canada

It is only two days since the Australian government announced that it had been approached to take Ms Qunun, and that
it would treat her request sympathetically. The UN usually approaches only one country at a time to seek asylum.

It is not clear why the Australian option fell through, and the UN switched to Canada. It might be that Australia's tough line towards refugees, and the
insistence of its Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton that she would get no special treatment, threatened to slow down the processing of her application.
