We certainly don't want people who just want to suck from the welfare teat.
So what do people make of these figures?
From the Australian Government. Statistical paper number 9

In 2010, there was 11,515 Lebanon born Australians receiving a disability pension. From, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 90,030 Lebanon born Australians. So one in eight is on a disability pension. Of course, of the 90 thousand, there would be a major portion of school age or too old to work, so it would be more like one in 5.
Compare to New Zealand born or UK born Australians.
NZ, 13,960 on disability pension out of 540,000, or one in 38
UK, 41,000 on disability pension out of 1.2 million, or one in 39.
There is some major rorting going on here. Most of the nutters who leave here to go fight for ISIS seem to be on a disability pension, yet they are fine to head overseas to fight a war.
See ya's.
