    Australia to Take 'Significant' Number of Syrian Refugees

    Australian leaders agree that their country must do more to help Syrian refugees.

    Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Parliament today (Monday) that Australia will take in a "significant" number of refugees, while the opposition party demanded the number be set at 10,000.

    Australia is already planning on accepting 13,750 refugees this year.
